These companies fail because vertical integration, and even a monorepo, is needed to make these efforts successful. This is completely at odds with the existing OEM/Tier 1 business model and engineering process grown up around it. Also, neither OEM nor Tier 1 have software cultures up to the challenge.

This is why the Chinese OEMs, Tesla, and Rivian are able to move fast.

Why is a monorepo hugely beneficial here and what do you think they are doing right now ?

Bingo! That's exactly it. That's what Geohot said as well about the reason of their failure.
