Completely unclear what they mean by "high end".
If you are doing a new design and estimates of area, pads, packaging and volumes are in the right place, TSMC 28nm or Intel 22nm are both very nice design points.
Proven tech, single patterned mask sets, fully amortized fabs.
At typical automobile volume, it is unlikely that a sub 10nm design would pencil out.
(Edit : oops - Vision and/or ML engines for self-driving or driver assist might get there as long as the design is not dedicated to typical car volume)
