Chinese manufacturers of smart vehicles are facing significant challenges due to a global shortage of essential components and increasing raw material costs, largely fueled by the surge in artificial intelligence.
Industry experts predict that it will take at least a year for the global supply chain to enhance the production of crucial elements like printed circuit boards (PCBs) and multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). These components are vital for advancing vehicle intelligence.
As demand continues to grow, the automotive sector is grappling with the reality that even minor components are critical to maintaining technological advancements in vehicles.
