Being a supplier to an OEM is a tough gig. They know down to the penny what a component costs to produce and they collude with the other manufactures to ensure that manufactures buy for the smallest possible profit margins at the worst possible terms; just enough to keep the supplier going. It's basically The Walmart Model.
That being said, several tech companies whose names you'd recognize have attempted to get into the vehicle infotainment space over the years, including Microsoft. But no one has found long-term success in the market (likely for the reasons mentioned above).
