CAN (Controlled Area Network) is 1980s, although it is still used a lot in cars. I am familiar with its use in controlling large telescopes (the ones I used also being 1980s).

Airbus seem to use a different strategy for back up of flight control systems, having a fallback which is electrical but not electronic.
