YAAB, Yet Another Automotive Bus?
This is probably what a newcomer to the automotive bus scene would think. There is CAN, there is LIN, there is MOST. There were many other standards, most of which have died or are dying. Many standards have come and gone in the past 40 years, since the automotive industry entered the electronic age.

USB Growing in Automotive Applications
;)
Consumers want MP3 audio in their cars and electronics suppliers in the automotive market are listening. It’s estimated there are over 150 million iPod or MP3-equivalents in use today. In addition; the growing popularity of GPS and in-car video has made interfacing with these types of consumer electronics a competitive advantage.

The Big Picture
Zero to 60 in Nanoseconds
I can’t help but get nostalgic this time of year. With summer drawing to an end for my 6-year-old, I realize how great life was as a child during summer break. Among many memories, I vividly recall my father working with his buddies all day and night in our garage tinkering on a 1965 Ford Mustang. Looking back, I believe it was the fascination with this Mustang that eventually drove me to study mechanical engineering in college. I loved everything about that car: the lines, the sound, the ride. I even read Lee Iacocca’s autobiography cover to cover – three times. It is apparent that back in the time of my childhood (and the book), automotive fascination involved horsepower, acceleration, torque, turning radius, and suspension. The center of the automotive universe was clearly about all things UNDER THE HOOD. These advancement types were (and continue to be) created by world-class MECHANICAL designers.
