Intel offered car manufacturers 16nm chips "as many as they wanted", but they'd have to be re-engineered from, from what I read, 150nm and certified for harsher conditions (temperature, humidity, acceleration, probably noxious fumes if installed under the hood) than consumer electronics, which adds to the cost.
In addition to that, with the upcoming switch to electric cars they probably wouldn't produce enough of them to recoup the investment.
