 Ni>> I've heard of this..  :/  I'd heard the car industry has been

I thought I heard it was the other way around, low production of computer chips causing car companies to lower production and in some caess, remove some features from their cars that use chips they couldn't obtain.

This is an article about the missing features during the chip shortage:
