Do you think auto companies buy their parts from one big company?
The reason I think so because I can see the same parts used in almost every car company? Of course the company makes different textures and styles to fit the car make but it still built on the same platform! For example almost every car make uses that same auto dimming rearview mirror in their cars and all of the mirrors say the same name! Which means all car makes can get any features that another car make has on a model because of them getting it from a company. Just like Mercedes benz can go buy the self parking feature from the company to put on their s-class (like the lexus ls 460) if they wanted to?

An auto manufacturer would be crazy if they didn’t use parts from other manufacturers. Why try to re- invent the wheel? They won’t do it better, and it removes their warranty obligations to the particular part manufacturer.

Yes, I think many parts are from the same company, built to different specifications. This can save the consumer money.
