"Chip Shortage Worsens: AI Data Centers and Electric Cars in High-Stakes Competition. The rapidly growing demand for artificial intelligence data centers is sparking a new threat to the automotive industry's quest for software-defined vehicles. As AI data centers gobble up massive volumes of memory chips, the auto industry is finding itself in a high-stakes competition for a limited supply. The shortage of these crucial components could have far-reaching implications for the production of electric and autonomous vehicles, further exacerbating the already strained supply chain."


Artificial intelligence data centers are using huge volumes of memory chips that the auto industry also needs for software-defined vehicles.
