Trends in Automotive Electronics

Abstract

Since the invention of wheels' human mind is working hard to better his convenience in the field of conveyance. This has resulted in betterment of transmission system, fuel efficient engines and a host of other features. There was a time when the digital clock was the most sophisticated electronic part in an automobile. However, these days almost all modern cars have a sophisticated control cluster to control engine operation, braking system, temperature inside the vehicle and all the like. Besides this, various sensors, micro-controllers and even mini-computers are used in motor vehicles now-a-days for improved operating efficiency, emission control and safety. Since motor vehicles are becoming the prominent mode of conveyance the automobile industry will surely progress further taking mankind to a more connected and digitized setup. Now a day's electric vehicles are becoming more affordable with various multi-national companies unveiling hybrid cards suggesting that fuel efficiency will soon be adopted widely around the world. Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence will play a major role in the automotive industry in the near future as analytical capabilities are becoming more prevalent in cars personalizing the driving experience. Vehicles are becoming IoT devices which can be connected to devices like smart phones and can take voice commands through it. In view of all these it is imperative that automotive system designers familiarize themselves with the advantages of these type of control systems paving the way for more powerful vehicles with considerable fuel economy riding comfort and safety.
