Both GM and Ford have been hiring a lot of software engineers in Detroit in the past few years. The problem is that they need NASA-style software engineers (crazy-anal nit-picky consider-every-possibility style engineers)--not engineers from the regular software industry. If your car crashes, you can't just reboot it.

It seems to me that there's less of that than there used to be.

In days of yore, I shipped quite a few ROM-based products. Bugs were frowned upon.

That, and they pay shit relative to the regular software industry.
