Let me ask you something. You probably have heard all the news about this or that car factory shutting down because of the global chip shortage. That nobody can get the car they want because of a tiny little chip.
And you might be wondering. When did semiconductors matter so much to today's vehicles?
Why do we need to turn our cars into computers? Why can't things just be simple? What are all these electronics actually *doing* for our cars?
In this video we are going to go into the automotive supply chain and their semiconductors. The specific focus will be on conventional cars. But if this video does well enough, perhaps we can do a version for electric and autonomous vehicles.
