There's actually a strange tradeoff with automotive companies. Security requirements are a big forcing function driving vehicle electronics architectures to modernize and adopt similar security practices to consumer electronics, away from the traditionally developed and profoundly insecure embedded systems of yesteryear. That brings a lot of security features with secure communications, secure boot, signed updates, etc. It also means that all the exploit development that's been done on consumer electronics becomes applicable to vehicle systems.
The teams maintaining all of this usually have a LOC/headcount ratio approaching 1 million too. It's a very different threat model than the old days when every manufacturer had their own systems and trying to craft an exploit required individualized work for all of them.
