Electrical engineering has been applied to the automobile since the 19th century when the automobile was invented. It was first for the ignition system, then a variety of electrical facilities such as for the starter, headlights, wipers etc., were developed. At present the battery has become indispensable for the automobile. The invention of the transistor, in 1948, brought about rapid progress of microelectronics technology, involving IC, LSI, and the microcomputer. Such technologies are now widely adopted for various functions of the automobile. The author discusses the role of electronics in the automobile, especially current and future automotive electronic systems; the electric power supply and starter; and the electrical needs of the battery
