I've been told that cars are much more complicated than they have to be, a lot of the mysterious stuff under the hood exist because of federal mandates, accumulated over decades.
Maybe reducing and consolidating a lot of those rules can make cars cheaper, and maybe more effective and reliable.

The complication of cars is much more consumer than government driven. 99% of the features in your car don’t “have” to be there. But nobody anymore is buying a car with no AC, no power windows or locks, 70s steering, no stereo, no range estimate etc etc etc. And of course modern cars are much more reliable, even with all those doo-dads.
