Stephan Keese: ADAS features at risk from helium shortage
About this episode
Stephan Keese discusses the impact of the helium shortage on the automotive industry and its potential shift towards less advanced vehicles.
Stephan Keese, senior partner at Roland Berger North America, joins Automotive News tech and innovation reporter Molly Boigon on the “Shift” podcast to talk about how the Iran war is constricting the supply of helium used to manufacture for manufacturing semiconductors. He also says the shortage may push automakers further towards internal combustion engines and hybrids because they contain fewer advanced electronics that require chips.
