I keep hearing about the global chip shortage that is affecting auto manufacturers. But there are lots of different chips and I never see anything specific. Custom ASIC ? Memory chips ? cpu ? I would think that manufacturers try to standardize on parts, so I do not understand why there is a shortage.

I work in the industry and just about anything. We don’t really use “custom” chips. Nor do I think most companies design their own chips.
We’ve had communication chips (like can transceivers) go out of stock. Also seen microcontrollers (kinda like mini CPUs) go out of stock. I think we’ve also seen some others go out of stock (I wanna say voltage regulators), but I’m more on the software side. So I can’t tell you exactly.
