Silvercar was recently acquired by Audi, so that's an example of a auto manufacturer running an car rental business.

That's why I said largely. I think one or more of the US manufacturers may have investments in rental car companies as well. But I'll still argue the basic point; companies often don't want to own the whole chain. (Auto manufacturers also use a lot of upstream suppliers as well rather than designing and building many of their components.)

All auto manufacturers have stakes to ride hailing apps if not outright owning one or more of them.
