The German car industry will not die completely, as the EU can protect its market from chinese manufacturers through regulation. But it will shrink and transform. Probably also back to fossil fuels (yuck), because there the Germans still have a lead (they are trailing with EVs).
Germany's new hot industry is defense technology.
Same with VW or with any other traditional German company. Sometimes to justify their job there would create problems that doesn’t exist and come up with a solution
