for next-generation vehicles
Taiwan is densely populated and has a very complex
transportation environment. Road traffic is a mix of pedestrians,
motorcycles and automobiles compounded by a population where
the use of ICT products in everyday life is very common. In the
embracing "C.A.S.E." as the direction for next-generation development,
international cooperation can be used by Taiwan in every aspect to
enhance the technical capabilities of the industry and make up for its
deficiencies. Taiwan is also well-suited to become a demonstration
facility for next-generation vehicles through new business models
based on inter-disciplinary cooperation, and pilot trials for new energy
vehicles. In smart driving for example, Taiwan's more complicated
driving environment makes it a more suitable testing environment for
the development of autonomous vehicles than other countries that
are now doing the same. The passing of the "Unmanned Vehicles
Technology Innovative Experimentation Act" will also pave the way
for self-driving facilities that will encourage foreign companies choose
Taiwan for product development and real-world testing.
