I thought the nationality was called "Japanese", so "Japanese automakers"?

Or Japan's Automakers.

Headlines in general just seemed to be terrible. It's like when they decide the word "and" is too hard to type so they just use a comma instead, but also still use commas sometimes for their original purpose. Leading to some very weird sentences.

Father, daughter win lottery, separately

That's a genuine headline I've seen in a local paper.

lol yeah, it does sometimes seem like headlines will compromise grammar in favor of brevity to the point of incomprehensibility...
