The diagrams for the new west south and east zones still show a lot of wires going all across the vehicle. This step might be a good first one to reduce the number of ECUs by combining them, but there is still the same cross-car wiring. You still seem to have a single ECU per function, but merged into a few dedicated boxes for example.
Next step: Each wire only goes to the nearest box. I'm curious how the Tesla unboxed architecture will eventually play out. I understand that eventually, the ECUs will be split up, so you have some aspect of each ECU in each corner of the vehicle. Part of the "lights" function is in front-left, part of it in the back. Wires only go to the nearest box.
A powerful vision, with the potential to further reduce wiring. Complex until you get a distributed brake ECU.
