The latest policy goal is for all automotive chips to be 100% locally developed and manufactured by 2027. The chip landscape in cars is rapidly evolving. Traditionally dominated by microcontrollers and analog chips for basic functions, modern EVs now require far more components for computing, battery management, cameras, and displays. Fortunately, many of these chips can be made with mature-node technology, which China is aggressively expanding.
Chinese automakers including SAIC Motor, Changan, Great Wall Motor, BYD, Li Auto and Geely, are preparing to launch models equipped with 100% homemade chips
Computing is too generic a term, 2 + 2 is computing. The article should have mentioned the most complex task, AI inference for self driving. I have no doubt that China has the ability to make the non-AI chips for cars. Not so sure about the AI capable ones.
