In recent years, the rapid development of China's automotive industry is changing a lot day by day. Production ability of China's automotive industry increases unceasingly, automotive consumer market is expanding greater and greater and consumer demand is increasingly vigorous, the personalized needs of China's auto market is more and more obvious, China's auto industry has a huge potential future. Meanwhile, since China joined WTO, the international multinational automobile giants take part in China's auto market comprehensively. The competition of China's automotive markets gets very fierce, the faster product upgrading, the huge cost of research and development fund for automotive enterprises becoming larger and larger, these make the operational risks that automotive industry facing to beyond the affordability of individual enterprises. Therefore, we need a new automotive development measure to dissolve these risks and the automotive industrial cluster come into being and is accepted extensively by the governments and corporations.Actually, the automotive industry fits to take the cluster mode develop, which is testified by the development of international automotive industry. Such as Detroit Motown in America, Toyota Motown in Japan, Ulsan in Korea, Stuttgart and Wolfsburg in Germany. From above, we know that they all select the automotive industrial cluster to grow up. Automotive industry cluster's advantagement is resulted in a competition and cooperation relationship among the companies in cluster and the high competition is rooted in the cluster effect. The firms locating in automotive industry cluster can learn new knowledge and technical from each other, and these can accelerate the rapid of technique innovation. The firms in automotive industry cluster can reduce the cost of manufacture and trade, improve their product quality steadily, acquire the benefit coming from the scale economy, and disperse the automotive market risk by highly specialization of production, thus promote rapidly competition of the whole automotive industry cluster.At present, though China's automotive industry has a great development comparing with the whole overall level of the international automotive industry, the level of china's automotive industry is still very low. And the competitive ability is very weak. In order to narrow the gap between the countries and promote the international competitiveness of china's automotive industry, it is necessary to take use of the automotive industry cluster to develop china's automotive industry. Based on this situation, this paper researches the development of China's automotive industry cluster. Firstly, the paper analyses the connotation of automotive industry cluster and theoretical basis, and also researches automotive industry cluster from the angle of economics. Then we study the formation and motivation conditions of automotive industry cluster, and further make use of Game theory to analyze the formation of automotive industry cluster. Finally, based on the development situation of China's automotive industry cluster we have a comparative study, and we also put some suggestions forward on the basis of the study to promote the development of China's automotive industry cluster.
