In 2024, the American Robotaxi service provider Waymo completed more than 4 million rides and planned to further expand into new cities such as Miami and Tokyo. As companies in both China and the US actively expand their robotaxi services, the future of related applications looks promising. However, the cost of advanced driving assistance features still limits their widespread adoption, and the performance of current autonomous driving systems across various automotive brands still has room for improvement. An autonomous vehicle generates about 40TB of data daily, necessitating the use of cloud platforms for computation, storage, and analysis. The emergence of these solutions, in turn, is accelerating the development and popularization of autonomous driving technology. Additionally, Taiwan-based companies are expected to demonstrate a unique competitive edge in areas such as sensor manufacturing, system integration, and innovative applications.

TrendForce indicates that DeepSeek and other Chinese AI companies are challenging the hardware-centric AI development model by focusing on operational efficiency, potentially prompting CSPs to reassess their AI infrastructure investments. While CSP capital expenditures will remain high in 2025, investments in in-house ASICs will increase to reduce costs and reliance on NVIDIA GPUs. US export controls will further accelerate the development of indigenous chips and algorithms in China's AI sector. In the long term, DeepSeek's emergence may lead to a downward revision in AI GPU demand and shift AI development towards efficiency-focused strategies.
