The Worst Chip Shortage The global chip shortage has shocked many companies and consumers in the United States since the beginning of 2021. The chip also known as aemiconductors are found in a wide range of devices, including phones, cars, industrial equipment, and virtually every digital device. The shortage is having devestating impacts on automotive production. The options for resolving this chip shortage in the United States are extremely limited. This is because domestic chip production has been steadily declining for decades as reliance on other countries has increased. The CHIPS for America Act is currently being contemplated because of this issue. Of course, this necessitates funding, and a lot of it! This congressional act will invest more than $50 billion in domestic semiconductor development in the hopes that if a future incident like this occurs, we will not be as alarmed. The reliance on outside manufacturers, especially by American car manufacturers, has proven to be risky. The impact the chip shortage has on your car! This shortage has had a significant impact on vehicle production. Imagine a brand-new BMW without a touch-screen display. What about a Nissan in 2022 that doesn’t have a basic navigation system? Keep in mind that we live in the technological age, and while some may be thinking about how spoiled technology has made us, the industry standard for today’s new vehicles is heavily technologically dense. When it comes to receiving chips, these automakers are not given priority. Companies that make smartphones, cloud infrastructure, and other digital device applications are at the front of the line. As a result, these automakers will have to wait a long time before they can have brand new vehicles ready to roll off the assembly lines. If you’re looking for a brand-new car, you might want to wait until the second wave of 2022, otherwise you might end up paying more or settling for less.
