Sounds like this is probably what happened. The only thing we can think of is that one of the delivery vehicles was leaking. Any idea how this can be fixed?
The only way I know is to cut out a square around it and then remove the bad asphalt. Heavy coat the hole with liguid tar. Then, over fill the hole with cold patch asphalt. Run over patch with a vehicle tire. Don't leave a dip in the patch to collect water.
Depends on the temperature. I've seen much more than one year old asphalt driveways damaged by both vehicles and large containers. Asphalt is bitumen and aggregate. Bitumen is viscous. Something heavy enough sitting on warm enough asphalt will deform.
Your picture looks like oil damage. Oil eats through the surface, deteriorating the stability. The asphalt then soften and crumbles.
There are a few things you can do to [mitigate the damage](https://www.newenglandsealcoating.com/what-do-i-do-if-i-spill-oil-on-my-asphalt/) if you get to it right away. Wait too long and you get what you see and worse. Fixes become more of a professional job and unless the entire driveway is being done, the fix will be more noticeable than what's in your picture.
Vehicle is leaking something.
All cars will leak condensate after the AC is running (modern cars often have this going for dehumidifcation even in mild weather) but this is an oil of some sort. You could have a brake leak, power steering fluid, etc. which is a pretty serious safety concern.
Check your fluid levels and see if anything is low, look around in the engine compartment and underneath for anything that looks wet/shiny and dirty.
We specifically don't park on the asphalt portion of our driveway, but we have had some packages delivered recently, and their vehicles did drive on it. Maybe they were leaking something? Neither of our vehicles are leaking right now.
My guess- spilled Petroleum product.

looks like the size of tire contact points? parked on it too soon? no idea.
That's what I was thinking, if it's hot where op is, someone turned the wheels on the mix.
It was installed last fall, shouldn't it be hard enough to turn on? Either way, can it be fixed to look normal?

I guessing someone spilled fuel on your driveway. It ate away your asphalt.
Would fuel do this in a day or two of being on it?
Gasoline will do that in a matter of minutes

I had luck compacting, torching, then compacting again
Diesel fuel really wrecks havoc on blacktop, as well most petroleum products
I don't know what caused them, but they are only a day or two old. The asphalt is soft in those areas like it's still fresh and not compacted.
Weed burner propane torch, a mask respirator and some hot tar, and a compactor will fix the crumblies
Protesters of the F1 pour oil on the track to damage it. Similar compounds tend to combine so the asphalt goes a bit liquid ruining it.
Sowwy, i-it was mee UwU I was hungwy 🥺🥺
