Driver Information
Many high-tech electronic systems, that improve
comfort, increase the active and passive safety
and facilitate communication and navigation, are
currently fitted into cars.
Examples of these systems are
•Automatic climate control,
•Airbags,
•Seatbelt pre-tensioning systems,
•Anti-lock brake systems,
•Traction control,
•Collision warning systems and
•(Satellite-)Navigation systems.
Now these systems are becoming increasingly
common and the demands of the driver con-
cerning the performance and easy access to
the status information of these systems is also
increasing. Therefore more electronic displays
will be used.
These displays will offer more information than
the standard information of normal dashboards.
They will show the status of the safety and
comfort systems mentioned, the information
provided by the navigation, communication and
maintenance systems.
Connector systems for the auto cockpit of the
future must be increasingly advanced in order
to meet the requirements for faster signal
transfer, reduced mass and reduced cost.
Tyco Electronics already plays a key role in the
connector technology for dashboards and in
the development of contact systems for the
cockpit of the future.
