What the heck are the door computers for? I certainly hope not the window motors, as there are millions of cars on the road with non computerized power windows that work just fine.
The door computers are curious beasts. They have the relays for
window and mirror control - but that's not very innovative. I think
they also maintain the settings for the mirror positions as part of
the memory package, but that's also not very interesting. I also
think that they have sensors for window force, so that if you have
your arm or head out the window it will sense the blockage and
reverse without you getting hurt (child safety, I guess). And then,
of course, they monitor all these functions and communicate with
the body computer to tell you when things go wrong. That's
probably the most innovative part - but it is kind of overkill.

Same thing with the computers in the seats - I think they're kind
of silly, too.
