Tesla has a patent on replacing lots of individual power and control wires with a single smarter wire carrying both for multiple components.
They were talking about it for the model Y and it was suppossed to reduce 1.5km of wire down to 100m but I dont think it's hit production vehicles yet.
They mostly talked about lighter weight and easier robot install, but should be cheaper and use less copper too if that actually becomes an issue.
