You're welcome, and yeah, that is the statechart. It's actually at the low zoomed-in level. That's the controller at the heart of the example. A lot of the diagrams in the article are higher-level, not sub-charts. I am not a 100% advocate for the BDUF-flavored model-driven-design approach in the whole document at that link, though I can understand why some industries would take it.
Remember, too, this is undoubtedly a simplified example. Just off the cuff I'd expect a real-world window motor controller in 2024 to have at least open-loop ramp-up and ramp-down in speed, if not closed-loop speed control. I also would expect there'd be more to their safety requirements.

I must have failed to understand even more things than I thought I did. I'll have to read through again when more awake if I want to fix that, I suspect.
I think if faced with that class of problem (am not automative developer, just spitballing) I would probably try using some sort of (no, not YAML) config format to express the various things.
But that's a 'how my brain works' and I am aware of that - for database designs, I've both ensured there was a reasonable diagram generated when the point of truth was a .sql file, and happily accepted an ERD as the point of truth once I figured out how to get a .sql file out of it to review myself.
I haven't worked in automotive. And I'm not a strong advocate of exhaustive model-driven design like what's shown at that link. But it's worth looking at.
Generally if you have a state machine or state chart with more than a few states, it's worth implementing as a table. The "config format" is then an array in a source file. There is a standard interchange format, scxml, for statechart tooling and libraries, but if you're implementing your state machine directly from a whiteboard drawing, you might not bother with it.
