It seems possible. Vehicles change every year. The amount and ways they change must be affected by available funding, perceived risk, and probably lots of other factors. A lower interest loan could make a risky prototyping project more attractive.

Even if car companies were really stuck doing one thing, shareholders are not. If car companies produce a slow, steady profit, and other investments are producing higher profits on average, chaotically, people will divest from cars and invest in a diverse portfolio of chaos.

I agree with what seems like your point, though. I don't understand propping up markets and businesses in order to help people, when we could just help people.
