At present, move to the new architecture of the auto industry, for security, data transmission speed, and cost control etc. Has a higher request.

Whether in the short or long term, the car industry is faced with severe challenges. In the short term, the chip shortage is still the problem of global auto manufacturers focus on first. Lack of core is seriously delayed the new car delivery, interrupt the existing vehicle maintenance, greatly inhibits the growth of the auto industry. As the upstream fabs expanding capacity, supply chain issues are resolved, but car market really reach the balance between supply and demand still needs a period of time.

"The shortage of the supply chain is the main problems in the overall auto market in 2021, the situation is expected to last until 2022." Cadence (our) auto solution director Robert Schweiger said. "Based on this, the company began to seek alternatives to solve chip shortage problem, including self-developed chip, and establish strategic partnership with fabs."

Ford (Ford) and GlobalFoundries (core) cooperation is a typical example. "What does this mean for the 2022 remains to be seen, but it shows that the shortage of the supply chain for future strategic decision-making, partnership and motors have had an impact." Schweiger said.

Chip shortage makes the chip purchasing and engineering talent gradually become the focus of the industry, leading to the car industry more long-term, fundamental changes have taken place. "OEM and Tier1 will increase its internal engineering expertise in both hardware and software," Synopsys (new technology) car, vice President, Walter Wottreng said. "Engineers will launch more flexible electrical architecture, in order to rewrite software quickly, according to the requirements of supply chain and integration instead of chips. In addition, increase internal expertise will help OEM to better cope with pressure of supply chain. As a result, they will know more about chip availability, and semiconductor supply chain to establish a more direct relationship."
