A system of a vehicle includes an engine control module (ECM), a first processor module, sensors, a second processor module, and a third processor module. The ECM controls engine actuators based on driver inputs to a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal, a brake pedal, and a cruise control system. The first processor module includes a first microprocessor and selectively actuates at least one of an electric power steering motor, friction brakes, and a throttle valve based on processed data. The sensors sense features outside of the vehicle. The second processor module includes a second microprocessor and generates the processed data based on data from the sensors. The second microprocessor is a graphical microprocessor. The third processor module includes a third microprocessor and generates an indicator of whether a fault is present in the second processor module.
