Help automotive companies? They have been sitting idle for decades and would rather spend their resources on flashy marketing, rather than innovate.

Car companies, even luxury brands like MB, BMW, and Audi are akin to cell phone companies running Symbian, Windows Mobile, Palm OS, and Symbian before the iPhone came along.

Now we have innovators like Tesla and open source DIY stuff from comma.ai which can churn out great tech in a very short amount of time, without the need for getting a new year model vehicle.
