Content:
"The century old automobile, the preferred mode for personal mobility throughout the developed world, is rapidly becoming a complex electro-mechanical system. Various new electro- mechanical technologies are being added to automobiles to improve operational safety, reduce congestion and energy consumption and minimize environmental impact. This chapter provides an introduction to these trends, as well as a brief overview of the major subsystems of an automobile and a brief overview of the automotive control systems to be described in detail in subsequent chapters"--
