The government stepped in and mandated the design of the automobile and the price jumped up accordingly. There is quite a bit a government manadated component tracking that goes into the manufacturing that the typical car owner doesn't know about or understand.

Now the engineering is subdivided into component types so one group does all of the structure while another does all of the lubrication systems and yet another to do the electronic control strategy and so on. It takes many more poeple to handle all the additional tasks. We had new engineers that came to work from McDonald Douglas and were amazed at the complexity of an automobile transmission as compared to an aircraft system.
