The government actually demands advancement in cars. Ever heard of CAFE standards?
As to weight, that's due to all the safety and other features the government mandates cars must have. Those things add weight to the car. Car companies would love to have the option to produce cars their way to save weight on certain cars like the Challengers, Stangs, and Camaros, for example. But they aren't free to design cars as they choose, they have to build cars as the Government allows them too.
It's also worth noting California recently passed a law forcing manufacturers to sell certain amounts of electric cars, whether the citizens there want to buy them or not.
