Old processes don’t disappear when the cutting edge manufacturers switch to smaller features. A lot of jelly bean parts, like the kind that go into a car, are made with larger features that are easier to work with. I think manufacturing is a core competency for automakers. While there are significant differences between car making and chip making, I don’t think you should discount an automaker’s ability to manufacture things.

- majewsky 5y agoI haven't seen car UIs in a hot second, so honest question: What's in there that cannot be done with, say, chips from 2008?

Many 2021 cars no longer have a single analog dial in them. It’s all done by pushing a ton of pixels from a CPU that’s probably not older in process than 14nm.

Carmakers don't do tech well. Android UI and Win 10 are also terrible. And at least Win10 comes from someone who claims a lot of experience in this field (although some claim that they just stole the ideas).
