“Cooperative Congestion Management” Expected to Become a New Solution for Improving Traffic Efficiency, Road Safety, and Energy Performance

Motorists often find themselves trapped in traffic during daily commutes or weekend peak hours, resulting not only in wasted time but also in energy consumption and safety risks. Recently, Nissan, through its Advanced Technology Center in Silicon Valley (NATC-SV), partnered with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) and the University of California, Berkeley, to jointly advance the Cooperative Congestion Management (CCM) program. Real-world road testing has been conducted to verify its potential to improve traffic efficiency, enhance fuel economy, and strengthen driver safety.

Integrating Visual Perception, Semantic Understanding, and Action Decision-Making, a Chinese Startup’s New ADAS Platform Aims to Overcome End-to-End Architecture Bottlenecks

Chinese startup DeepRoute.ai recently unveiled its next-generation driver-assistance platform, DeepRoute IO 2.0, featuring its self-developed VLA (Vision-Language-Action) model. The company claims this architecture breaks through the interpretability and generalization bottlenecks of traditional end-to-end (E2E) systems. The new platform integrates visual perception, semantic understanding, and action decision-making, offering functions such as spatial semantic comprehension, irregular obstacle detection, traffic sign text recognition, and memory-based voice control. This delivers a more humanlike and safer advanced driver-assistance experience. Compared with current market solutions, DeepRoute IO 2.0 offers greater technical transparency and stronger mass-production adaptability, having secured five design-win projects and approaching 100,000 vehicles in deployment. The company also plans to accelerate passenger car applications and expand into Robotaxi operations as part of its roadmap toward Road AGI (Artificial General Intelligence for Roads).

Registration Report Analysis - 2025 August Taiwan Car Market

Registration Report Analysis - 2025 August Taiwan Car Market

Market Overview: In August, total market registrations reached 29,460 units, representing a sharp 17% decline from July but a slight 0.2% increase compared to August last year. Among major brands, only Lexus and Tesla posted growth over July, while all others experienced declines. Mercedes-Benz suffered the steepest drop at 50.7%, due not only to consumer hesitation caused by tariff and commodity tax uncertainty, but also to sharply reduced deliveries of key models such as the GLA, GLC, and E-Class as they transitioned to new model years. As of the end of August, cumulative registrations for the year stood at 263,910 units, a 14.2% decline compared to last year. Despite aggressive promotional campaigns ahead of the Ghost Month, consumer sentiment remained cautious. With no clarity on adjustments to import tariffs and commodity tax, buyers continued to postpone purchases, leaving automakers with mounting inventory pressure. Our forecast for this year’s total market has been revised downward, with an expected decline of 10–15% compared to last year.

2025 Digital Automaker Index Released: Startups and Chinese Brands on the Rise, Traditional Automakers Still Lagging Behind

Gartner recently released its 2025 Digital Automaker Index, revealing that legacy automakers such as Renault, Jaguar Land Rover, and Ford continue to fall behind in software capabilities, struggling to catch up with “digital native” brands such as Tesla, Nio, and Xiaomi. Gartner refers to automakers with leading software strength as “new incumbents.” These companies improved their combined score across eight software-focused criteria from 60.6% in 2024 to 61.6% in 2025. In contrast, the score for traditional automakers fell to 33.8% this year, down from 34.1% last year.
