    Forgive me but which of these major manufacturers rely on publicly funded research when designing new vehicles?

    Public funding tends to go on at universities. Major manufactureres then buy the patents and take the credit.

      According to whom? Companies also do tons of research since they’re building proprietary products to sell. Which patents used in my Toyota Camry were publicly funded?
