Indeed. Ever owned a European car? Heard of Bosch?
Ever owned a Japanese car? Heard of (Nippon-)Denso?
You would be astonished how many bits of a car is subcontracted. What the auto manufacturer typically focuses on is engine design (at the mechanical level), chassis design and suspension topology. Most things that "bolt on" are made by somebody else.
