TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Taiwan and Japan are positioned to benefit from the joint
creation of a “paradigm shift” in the industry of autonomous vehicles, as both sides can play important roles in the development of self-driving cars, said founder of Acer, Stan Shih (施振榮), Taiwan’s leading electronics corporation.
The remarks were made by the top Taiwanese businessman in a forum held by The Nikkei in Taipei on Oct. 30, with topics spanning Taiwan-Japan cooperation and exploration of the Southeast Asian market, reported Liberty Times.
Making a case for the two countries to create shared values, Shih noted that the competitive edge of Japan lies in technologies, quality, and culture, while Taiwan boasts advantages in ICT systems, entrepreneurship, flexibility, cost control, and adaptability, the report quoted him.
With the formation of a new paradigm shift into joint endeavors by the two sides, Taiwan can assume a vital role in providing components and subsystems for the manufacturing of autonomous cars, Shih emphasized. [FULL STORY]
