Volkswagen and other ICE car manufacturers are not IT companies like Tesla. They are holdings outsourcing design and manufacturing to Bosch, Magna Steyr, and others.

Yes, but they are doing another layer of quality control on whatever comes out of Bosch. Because at the end of the day, they can't blame Bosch for the bad quality of cars sold under their brand.
