I can hear the youtube video now "how I replaced my unavailable ECM with an arduino" I wonder if anyone has documented the various sensors and algorithms used

  Yes, Speeduino, Megasquirt 1 (not the newer closed source ones), RusEFI are all open-source engine control software. Not even in the same dimension as commercial stuff, but the primitives are there.

  Good luck with the ECM. A college did a custom one and it was alot of work. However you can probably hack together something easier that follows the AUTOSAR standard. E.g. the window elevator conteol unit or something.

  Rovers, boats, drones, planes, helicopters, submersibles, all done with Arduinos or similar. It seems it can be done if one really wanted to. When I think about all of the things my drone can do that are seemingly more complex than a non-self driving car can do it seems more than plausible. https://ardupilot.org/ardupilot/ https://ardupilot.org/ardupilot/

  If by "basic vehicle functionality" you mean enough to run the engine and move the vehicle, there's a lot of other aftermarket ECUs available, and I suppose any engine can be converted to completely non-computerised operation with the addition of a carburetor and points ignition (at the expense of emissions and fuel economy.)
