There are so many more embedded CAN systems beyond cars. Industrial battery management uses Linux and canbus, for example.

Satellites, industrial machines, automatic windows blinds, battery management systems.

I still suspect those industrial battery management systems have a separate embedded systems that is actually running the communication.

The risk of a linux system freezing and rebooting is faar greater than a 500 row c state machine that is passing application state back and forth.

I Really dont think its common for linux to directly manage can traffic outside of logging and diagnostics. (atleast from those i've seen)
