Many subsystems connected by the CAN bus. In the Linux philosophy of do 
one thing well you might find a Cortex-M microcontroller whose sole 
function in life is adjusting the seats. The automotive industry did it 
right for the most part. ucontrollers are cheap; no reason not to offload 
tasks onto a controller that sends periodic reports of how things are 
going.
