Texas is quietly closing in on California as the country’s largest auto market. America’s publicly traded dealer groups are going all-in on artificial intelligence, and smaller rivals are starting to feel the pressure. Plus, Qualcomm’s Nakul Duggal explains why he believes the company is on track to become the auto industry’s top silicon supplier.

The surge in artificial intelligence infrastructure spending has triggered a DRAM memory chip shortage that is rippling through the auto industry. AI companies are outbidding virtually every other sector for supply, leaving automakers to navigate hundreds of millions of dollars in reported losses and an uncertain timeline for relief, said Kushal Fernandes, a partner at Kearney.

The surge in artificial intelligence infrastructure spending has triggered a DRAM memory chip shortage that is rippling through the auto industry. AI companies are outbidding virtually every other sector for supply, leaving automakers to navigate hundreds of millions of dollars in reported losses and an uncertain timeline for relief, said Kushal Fernandes, a partner at Kearney.

Kearney partner Kushal Fernandes breaks down which industries are best — and worst — positioned to survive the DRAM memory chip shortage, why the auto industry lands in a surprising middle ground and what structural advantages electric vehicle makers have over traditional automakers when it comes to securing supply.

As the artificial intelligence boom continues, auto industry companies are competing with tech giants for access to memory chips, a shift that is driving up costs and triggering structural changes to the supply chain just as automakers lean into the software-defined vehicle transition.
