At this point with chip shortages it’s in EU’s interest to attract businesses to build it. Even if it costs us to build it, overall we’ll benefit from it. How much is lost due to stopped Audi plants?

"attract businesses to build it"

I am wondering how that will work with the current "state aid" framework.

The current crisis is an opportunity to empty the public coffins, full of state aids everywhere, especially to large corporations, and send the bill afterwards to the people that have to pick up the bill. No thank you.

As for cars, we don't need those chips, cars were fine before without all those useless electronics.

>As for cars, we don't need those chips, cars were fine before without all those useless electronics. But how will they make sure you need to have your car checked every 12 months and bill you for some vague "electronic component"?
