What I'll never understand is why carmakers don't take advantage of this situation and address a market that's been literally BEGGING for decades for a new product: A simple, basic car, with the ONLY electronic control being for: - Valve timing - Fuel injection - Oxygen and throttle - Emissions There's a market for budget and privacy oriented customers that all carmakers seem to have ignored for two decades now.

tire pressure sensor, gps and e-call is needed by law.

Is the _market_ begging, or a few folks on the internet? The only folks I know that complain about technology in cars are a couple posters on internet forums.
I hope a lot of car industry supply chain managers are losing their jobs now. Worst people ever. Hurt their suppliers, hurt their own company, out of sheet arrogance and ignorance. On the other hand, good for us, any ICE car or car in general that is not produced is good for the environment.

most things you mention are mandated by the government, you can't sell a car in any western market without tire pressure monitoring, stability control, back up camera etc. the manufacturers have no choice, it would be like suggesting they sell cars without seatbelts.

But they're not changing their lineups, product design and marketing are expensive and take a long time. I don't think shrine expects the shortage to last that long.

One is that neither one of us have any idea of the electronics BOM breakdown between the various parts of the car, and whether the effect of shortage would be mitigated in a meaningful way if the entertainment stuff was simplified. And you can't legally sell a new car in the US without back-up cameras and tire pressure monitoring.
The second issue is that re-designing that part of the car takes more than a year (probably years, given that you need to collaborate with business and marketing to fit it in the existing lineup and e.g. not have it be associated with down-market products)
