Re: Bah!

Ogi, for 99% of vehicles they are still multiple controllers, typically running over a CAN bus.

Mainly due to weight, a controller is usually lighter than that massive bundle of wires and from the OEM's perspective easier to build than adding 200 miles of wiring.

The main priority after getting a vehicle to "work", is making it cheap to assemble.
