Preface Over the past years enormous progress has been made in the microsystems area in transforming research results into marketable products. Nearly all economic sectors did benefit from these developments. Automobiles today are inconceivable without microsystems. New and improved functions in the car related to safety, performance, comfort and emission reduction – being in many cases the unique selling propositions of a new automobile product – are in the majority of cases based on microsystems. ABS, break assistance, stability control and further safety features, applications in air condition systems, powertrain and engine management are only some examples for the indispensable role of microsystems in automobiles. Microsystems and their underlying technologies are in many cases even the driving forces in order to satisfy new customers’ requirements. Even more than in the past microsystems are the keys in order to face the enormous challenges to be faced by the automotive industry in the future: Vehicles have to satisfy higher standards concerning environmental iss
