However, their European head Peter Wiese remains convinced that the company will secure significant market share in Germany. Calterah has already secured clients from the European automotive industry, with more on the horizon, according to the manager who spoke to the Handelsblatt.\n\nGlobally, more than 300 automobile models are equipped with Calterah's radar chips, not only in China but also in Europe and the United States. Increasingly, Chinese semiconductor providers are venturing into the German automotive industry, facing stiff competition from the largest domestic chipmakers. Infineon, based in Munich, tops the list, followed by NXP from the Netherlands. The question remains, do Chinese providers stand a chance in Germany?",
