Heated screens are available on some VW models in some regions these days too. As with a whole lot of vehicle technology, it isn't actually the car brand that develops these things but component suppliers. Ford don't make windscreens any more than they make ABS systems and brake components such as callipers. Many companies, probably most, don't even make their own dashboards these days. For instance, the mega Nissan factory in the UK gets their dashboards completely assembled, delivered by robot from an adjacent dashboard manufacturing and assembly plant owned and run, on Nissan soil, by Calsonic Kansei. Calsonic also own what used to be known as Llanelli Radiators, and make heating, ventilation and air conditioning units plus radiators for many brands. The front and rear subframes on Volvo 90 series cars are actually fabricated in the UK for them. I've seen parts in the engine bay from at least four different countries.

Its like any company. The parts are made all over the place.....
Gearshifter for auto used (still is?) to be made in Poland. The Oilcoolers are/was made by a company in Malmö called Setrab (best friends mum worked there). Seats are are made by Johnson Control in the UK I believe. Etc etc etc etc etc Like Ikea!

Anybody know when the new XC60 in 2wd auto is coming out? The AWD's emissions are high from a company car tax viewpoint so would prefer the 2wd which I have now
