DETROIT -- A widening global shortage of semiconductors for auto parts is forcing major auto companies to halt or slow vehicle production just as they were recovering from pandemic-related factory shutdowns.

Not according to all the car commercials i see on TV!

Cant believe all the car companies that think they are going to go all electric. Unless they plan on mining asteroids I don't know where they think they will get the materials for rare earth magnets and lithium batteries?!?!?! There is only a finite amount of that stuff and a new report just said China is NOT taking new orders or customers for their raw materials. Maybe I shouldn't have sold my horse
