I'd go with either Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science. Since you're into cars and cars are becoming more and more computer laden (and that is where a LOT of the innovation will be happening for the foreseeable future) I would choose a second major in one of those. Since I don't see any other school mentioned outside of DigiPen, I'll assume you haven't quite chosen a school yet. In that case, choose carefully, as Ghostworks alluded to your milage will vary from school to school for any of these, as well as Mechanical Engineering.
The Computer Engineering program at DigiPen is, from my tours through their lab quite impressive, and this is coming from a recent CE grad (though, sadly, not from DigiPen.)
The specializations Ghostworks mentions are also quite good ideas to primary major in, if you really know you want to be in the automotive industry.
My final recommendation is to, at minimum, minor in Physics (and Math, as that will likely be nearly automatic anyways) as these will round you out a bit and provide a greater foundation of understanding for your future endeavors.
Good luck! ^_^

If you have an interest in game development, ProjectFUN at DigiPen, maybe?
