That is happening but technology often moves forward in fits and spurts. Every part in a car adds to the cost sometimes and the accountants who run companies choose a less than optimum solution for one that is "good enough." This penny-wise but pound foolish attitude (aka., their own pay and benefits) almost killed two of three USA car makers and for Chrysler, this is their second time at bat.
