This review only touches the surface of the wide range product development and manufacturing computer applications in the automotive industry. Moore's Law, i.e. the doubling of computer power every 18 months, has been with us for almost 30 years now, and it has about another decade of life remaining. To develop some perspective about what this means, let's look back to 1985 and then forward to 2010. In 1985, supercomputers were emerging as a tool for the 'possible' elimination of prototypes for crash, NVH, certification, and durability. Today, the automotive industry is one of the largest users of supercomputers, and the number of prototypes per vehicle program has decreased dramatically during the past thirteen years while vehicle technology has increased (e.g., emissions and safety systems). Over the next decade, we will have the same rate of change in computer technology, but from the much higher base of today's modern automotive design processes. With such predictable computer technology change, the enormous changes that will take place in how we will engineer the vehicles of 2010 is, conversely, quite unpredictable.
