They are not so common now a days. Many things have moved up to 16 bits and even these that are still 8 bits are using newer architectures such as 68HC05 and 68HC11. Both of these will be replaced by things like the 'HC08 and 'HC12/'HC16. Also, in powertrain controllers, GM has been using 68332 for years and Ford has already announced intentions to use PowerPC in the future. I personally think Ada would find a good fit in either of these two architecture, but neither Ford nor (to my knowledge) GM have shown any interest.
