It is suggested that there are about 30 to 40 sensors in year 2001 average economical model, but that figure could more than double in a few years. As car makers attempt to surround the vehicle with an electronic cocoon, there are importing sensor technologies that are standard equipment in other transportation systems like aircraft and ships. For object detection and collision warning, there are tapping radar sensing technologies. Rugged packages are under development, so sensors and electronics can be embedded in the system. With drivers seeking real-time information on vehicle dynamics, the trend is toward more on-board diagnostics and high-speed data transfers, including the use of the CAN interface. Such an interface minimizes the need for a wiring harness within an automotive system while making it simpler to add or remove sensors in that environment.
