    From the suppliers point of view, there is currently chaos. Every OEMs has very unique requirements and it is not feasible to offer scaling products. That means high costs for the OEMs because more stuff is custom-built.

    OEMs handle this very differently. Some try to pull things in-house (Ford FNV4, VW CARIAD) but now find out that it is too costly. Others try make suppliers collaborate more closely (Continuous Integration!) but find out that the old patterns (plugging black-boxes) prevail.

    I imagine all the big OEM managers are quite frustrated now because nothing seems to work. Meanwhile the “new kids” wonder why they struggle.
