In this chapter, we will survey recent advances of two of the most influential and productive projects and initiatives in Japan, i.e., the Cross -ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP)-adus (automated driving for universal services) [3] and Nagoya University Center of Innovation (NU COI) Mobility Innovation Center [4]. These projects and initiatives mainly focus on the cooperation areas of Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C -ITS) technologies that automobile OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), suppliers, and service providers can share in their products and applications. Furthermore, we will also briefly introduce how we approach these technologies beyond the cooperation areas.
