What It Will Take to Build a Resilient Automotive Compute Ecosystem
The modern vehicle is no longer just a mechanical machine, but a dynamic computing platform defined by software and evolving toward an era of AI-defined intelligence that learns, adapts, and improves over time. For automakers and suppliers, this shift is reshaping everything from product roadmaps to procurement strategy.
Since the 2021 global chip shortage, which exposed vulnerabilities across the supply chain, one question has taken center stage: Should companies bring more control in-house, or partner more deeply across the value chain? At first glance, vertical integration promises tighter control, and some OEMs are already exploring custom chips and proprietary software stacks. However, this can come at a high cost – in capital, time, and talent.
The pace of innovation and complexity of future AI-defined vehicles suggest another path: strategic collaboration, or what some now call “coopetition.”
