There's a number of people whom make these car Lan transceivers.
The CAN bus is primarily used by BMW, I think they get their parts from Seimens
but I am not sure.

I (squared)C is another bus type. I am not sure who uses this.

The point is: there is NO standard for automotive communication busses.

If automakers could get together and create a standard bus, the price of the
parts would come down due to economy of scale.

SAE ought to start a standards process to get the ball rolling.

In telecom we do this all the time.
