contents The 3GPP V2X resource allocation framework defines two entity classes -- the base station and the vehicle UE -- and four modes across LTE and NR generations. We demonstrate that this binary taxonomy is structurally incomplete. Base station-led scheduling saturates at high-density traffic nodes, producing latency-tail failures that persist even when mean packet delivery ratios approach the service-class target. UE autonomy is categorically incapable of pre-emergence warning for occluded traffic participants and insufficient for large-scope cascading environmental hazards. We propose Mode 0, a new 3GPP V2X category whose defining entity is the Roadside Computing Unit (RCU) -- an infrastructure ensemble integrating elevated sensing (Seeing), sidelink communication (Speaking), and local computational evaluation (Thinking), owned by traffic management authorities. Mode 0 defines a subfamily spectrum from Mode 0a (all-passive UEs, the guaranteed minimum) through Mode 0c (all-active UEs, the optimal target). Convergent deployment evidence from Chinese national standards (DB11/T 2329.1-2024, T/ITS 0224.1-2025), China Unicom RS-MEC infrastructure, and European and US C-V2X programs confirms that both institutional sides are converging on the roadside traffic node without a coordination standard. A fifteen-run Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (MAPPO) simulation validates the architectural family: Mode 0a in shared-pool baseline sits at the analytical symmetric-Nash coordination floor; Mode 0c with demand separation achieves strict Pareto improvement for both traffic classes (M0 PDR 0.999, M1 PDR 0.998 at $ρ_{\rm pool} \leq 1$) and lifts the worst-TTI delivery ratio from near-zero to 0.601 -- the only configuration satisfying the latency safety requirement structurally. We call for a 3GPP study item on Mode 0 within the NR-V2X sidelink enhancement work programme.
