    Volkswagen to develop own assisted driving chip in China

    Germany's Volkswagen said on Wednesday it would develop an
    in-house assisted driving chip for its business in China as
    it seeks to recover from sagging sales in the world's largest
    auto market.

    . . .

    Are they insane ???

    Just five minutes ago I posted on how Norway had
    discovered a de-facto remote "kill switch" in
    China-made commercial busses ......

    Can't Germans make their OWN chips any more AT ALL ???

    They'd better get with the Trump Perspective, quick.

    It gets even crazier when you realize that one company in Taiwan (TSMC)
    has a 70% share of the global semicondictor market. It turns out that manufacturing chips is crazy hard/expensive to do and nobody can really
    afford to compete with them.
