Any microprocessor-controlled system that's headed for high-volume production is fair game for a custom-designed CPU with a user-defined microprogram. Here's one example: a 12-bit auto-engine controller that minimizes polluting gas emissions and improves gas mileage. An interesting application, but what it teaches designers is more imporant - how to handle multiple sensors while setting up a microprogram that efficiently fine-tunes the system.
