In reality, a lot of the technologies supposedly 'invented' by car companies are actually invented by companies such as Bosch, Visteon, Aisin et al, who then sell the technologies to car companies. The companies that first use it are said to have invented it, but really, they are first to introduce it. At best, they are often co-developers of the technology.
