Modern indicators?

Anyone know how indicators are timed these days?
Its obviously electronic but what means of timing keeping do they use? is it a flasher can like Im used to or is this a function built into a module elsewhere on the car.
I just noticed at the Port Melbourne Holden factory there is some cars being loaded up on a truck and there is 2 side by side with hazards on and they are perfectly timed out of phase and have has 0 phase drift in the 20min so far of running. They must be using some damn accurate timing for the indicators, very consistent type of flasher from manufacturing variation point of view.
No way a mechanical flasher can could do this.
I also noticed new cars indicators sound fake, like a speaker that plays the sound of ticking.
