The 'chip shortage' has been created by car manufacturers. They've shot themselves in the foot. In two decades they have not upgraded from legacy hardware technology. They didn't have to, it's more profitable not to. If you crack open the latest vehicle computers, you won't find the same technology used in smartphones and modern appliances. Since the pandemic most of the producers of the legacy hardware shut down those factories and they have no intention of firing them back up. Vehicle manufacturers have nothing to use and are pilfering certain lines for others
You only need a pocket calculator to run the various systems in the latest vehicles. Basic sensors, some aggregation, computation and infotainment. There's absolutely nothing complex about the technology in a vehicle when you stop and think about it. It's had zero impact on Tesla because they already used modern hardware tech and just had to tweak the software to suit different chip providers. Modern manufacturers will have to start from scratch
