In 1996, 52 million vehicles were produced worldwide. By 2005, many predict that over 65 million will be produced because of the strengthening economies throughout the world and the individual's desire for personal mobility. The automobiles of the 1990s are at least 10 times cleaner and twice as fuel efficient as the vehicles of the 1970s. These advancements were due in large part to distributed microprocessor-based control systems. Furthermore, the resultant vehicles are safer, more comfortable, and more maneuverable. The environmental challenges of the 21st century will require advances of the same order of magnitude. In particular, next generation vehicles will be more electrified and designed by total systems approaches, involving new materials, alternative fuels, and new power-trains all enabled by modern control systems and design techniques.
