COMPUTERISATION OF CARS

With cars becoming an extension of the driver, computerisation of cars is becoming an inevitability. While processors have already made their way into cars, you will soon see PC like interfaces and operating systems too. There are already experiments on to integrate the Android OS in cars. At the forefront of this drive towards computerisation is Nvidia which is using automotive grade versions of its Tegra mobile processors to keeps tabs on power consumption and thermal issues in cars. In fact, there are already 2.5 million cars running with Nvidia processors.
