Automotive Computer Systems Paper Help

I have to right a 8 page paper for one of my college classes on automotive computer systems. So kinda all the computer technology in cars.

I need some ideas of what to include. so far I have:
Navi systems-including the satalite link on RL etc..
Bluetooth/Voice recognition
OBD
ABS, Airbags and other safety stuff
The production line etc

so I need some more ideas. and this is a computer class so they need to be as closely related to computers as possible. Thanks!!

Presafe is a great idea, I total forgot about that.eral automotive stuff.
Keep the ideas comming I need to write this soon.

Presafe is a great idea I forgot about that I think I will try to stay away from Xenons and LEDs because they are more car technology and not really computer technology.

Here is the book we are "using" in class, although i have no idea where mine is and don't think i have ever read more than a page of it lol.

Im not really sure what exactly you are looking for,......but what about stuff like Electronic brake distribution and Vehicle stability control etc type systems,......the onboard comps in the cars have to make a lot of calculations for those things. Dunno if that will help,......I could be TOTALLY off topic and/or wrong here,.hahaha.

Maybe the diagnostic comps they can plug into your car????

yea stability control etc is good stuff i think i am going to include if i need more.

To clear it up i need it as computer based as possible, ie navi, stability control and that stuff not hp or lights stuff. Thanks these ideas are good so far keep them comming. And places where i can find information on these systems would be great thanks!

Here's an article talking about viruses being spread by bluetooth into a cars computer system. I thought it might be a little helpful.

Um the new Fifth Gear episode on the S-Class should do the job. They demonstrate the Distronic thing...

Write an 8pg Article on the GM Oil Life Monitor....that should be easy.

Engineers have written books on that system.
