Preface Aut omobile manufacturers today win or lose market shares at the fronti ers of techn ological fea sibility, on the battl efi eld s of safety, environmental performance , in- car entertainme nt and information services and the interaction with traffic man agement system s. Customers demand also reliability and value for money, and delivering increm ental product improvement w ithout pric e increases bec om es crucial. In all these area s microsystem s play the key role related to technological feasibility and cost reduction. Th e successful int rodu ction of new functionality requires clo se collaboration between car manufacturers and their suppliers , the companies which package the techn olo gy in ' black box es ' . Thes e components must be reliabl e , ch eap , and eas y to assim ilate into the asse mbly p rocess - compatibilit y with other systems is critical. In the cas e of untried , 'blue sk y' technologies , there is a strong cas e for co-operation between the car manu facturers them selves. To reduce risk and secur
