In cars most of the data are shared over CAN. If something doesn't need its own set of sensors they don't usually have that. To do gross motion body control without rideheight sensors for shocks they need all the same input a VSA would need, its just the "output" would be different(cars are also moving to one box to do everything now, though thats definitely not there yet). In this case the output from those signals for VSA would be to grab brakes or cut power or both. For shocks it means to control damping for each corner and monitor the change in behavior from those same sensors. When you turn VSA off it just won't do the VSA side of intervention but it would still try to do the body control. They won't just turn the shocks off or do passive damping.
