I've read that the problems with chips for cars are actually old processes (greater than 100nm) that are commodity and so no one really cares to make them and the equipment has one foot in the grave and such, so I don't think anyone cares too much about putting chips into rockets since that stuff was figured out awhile ago. My perception of national defense types is somewhat influenced by reading their press stuff and somewhat influenced by General Buck Turgidson from Dr Strangelove. He would say, "We must not have a $weapon gap!" (missiles, mineshafts, whatever he perceived to be in the national interest at the moment). And today, what occupies the minds of these types is AI which means latest gen chips and problems with pesky nerds and their ethical considerations. They greatly fear that China has surpassed the US in AI and has us outgunned. To be fair to them, AI could certainly be a potent weapon, but I have no idea how their perceptions of China reflect reality.
