Abstract
Since the first electronic systems were introduced in the passenger car sector in the 1960s, the proportion of electronics in the motor vehicle has steadily risen. The first components to be used were predominantly discrete components. However, manufacturing costs and high requirements for system reliability soon inhibited their further development. Technological advances in microelectronics promoted the increasingly dense integration of components. This gave rise to compact, dependable electronic systems for automotive applications.
