“To achieve efficiency due to the high demand for vehicles, software and hardware must come from one hand,”. Diess told Handelsblatt.
Volkswagen never planned to build semiconductors but wanted patents if possible, said Diess. Adding that the Cariad software component would improve technology and grow.
The move is a response to Tesla, which may include custom-designed chips. This will allow the US company to develop new features faster than its competitors.
“Apple and Tesla have a high level of expertise in terms of their rhetoric,” Diess said.
