Toyota will only produce 800,000 cars in October because of a chip shortage

Toyota Motor Corp said Thursday it plans to produce about 800,000 vehicles worldwide in October, about 100,000 less than its average monthly production plan because of a shortage of semiconductors.
The world's largest automaker by sales volume said last month that it planned to produce about 900,000 cars a month from September through November.

Still, Toyota is sticking to its goal of producing 9.7 million vehicles worldwide for the current fiscal year through March 2023.

The general belief in this trend has contributed to more than $53 billion invested in private companies developing autonomous vehicle technology since 2014. Many startups have already begun pilot (and sometimes even commercial) launches of their projects, and some are waiting...
