Its worse, ICE cars refuse to get off tech from 20 years ago, and the fab plants refuse to build stuff that cant be repurposed. Intel told ford they would make them all the chips in the world a couple years ago if they ditched 45nm for current single digit nm tech. Ford instead decided "Fuck it, I'm going to get in the chip foundry business"
