Auto programming is the prime example of Conway's law.

Like, you have 10s of critical applications that you want to keep simple and not crashing or bugging out. So, just give them each a computer.

No way for the shitty wiper department's buggy ECU to ruin your day in the brake ECU by blocking all the hydraulic lines. You can even put them on different CAN buses!

Even an economy car from 15 years ago will have 2-4 CAN buses for this reason.
