They usually outsourced software to the supply empire, and well, imagine software development, but in a waterfall, bureaucratic, cheapest first wins empire that is trimmed to produce one iterration per car version at best or the ocassionaly at service update. If you want to become more agile and want to sell software as modules and updates, this quite physical seperate dependcy hell comes back to bite you. Its basically waterfall for every update. BMW munich software department was famous for having no developers. Just specs and architects. People who were doing software developer "internships" there, were failed at some universitys cause that would have been a "NoCode" internship. Software in this world was not a living product, thats regularly updated, its a off the shelf part made to specifications. They tried to change in recent years, in reaction to tesla, but i highly doubt they can pull it off. Maybe in eastern europe, they have a developer/software culture.
