Think about the longest chain of logic your vehicle might have to evaluate. If you have an output to say a mover, every frame it is going to need to figure out the signal value for that output wire. To do that, is has to figure out everything that is connected to that wire, for as many connections as you have, which then have to be evaluated in sequence. It is likely that disconnected sections of logic can be run in parallel on the CPU, but connected chains couldn't unless they branch off from each other and stay separate. So the length of the longest possible "path" through your logic wires is probably a good indicator of overall cost.
And obviously not all component is equal in cost. A laser sensor is probably thousands of time more expensive than using an add calculator.
