The development of microelectronics and microcomputers has enabled these items to be considered for application to the automobile engineering field so that control functions previously exercised by the driver in response to dashboard instruments are carried out automatically. Component illustrations are given of the Motronic system for the measurement and control of a six cylinder engine using a microcomputer and the Jetronic system for carburettors. Another application is to automatic control of the temperature and air circulation within the vehicle for increased comfort. A further development is a trip computer, where a single microchip carries all the logic and memory functions to derive data of interest (e.g. speed, time, fuel consumption).
