No? Could you explain?

Did the old film cameras fall under consumer electronics? I don't think so. What about analog telephones from the 90's? What about overhead projectors and phonograph players (I hope that's what they were called)?

Those devices have changed. I have to imagine the umbrella of 'consumer electronics' is constantly expanding. In the long term, why would cars be any different?

A car is still in a different device category. It has to be a lot more dependable and secure then a phone, with deeper social implications (life critical). Jobs managed to slip the antennagate under the rug, you can't do that with cars. IMHO this is not the kind of knowledge you can imprint in a company in a few years safely.
