"One day soon there will be car companies that have 200 employees."

And they will all be filling out forms to assure the government that their cars have automatic restraint systems, automatic braking, automatic collision avoidance, automatic position reporting, automatic speed reporting, and police-operated remote shutdown.

Or they will subcontract that to a firm that specializes in dealing with government bureaucracy. Two hundred might be a bit small, but I don't think the sub-1000 range is untenable.
