The automotive industry has not been excepted from the rapid development of microcomputer applications. Since the advent of the trip computer some four or five years ago, the functional possibilities for automotive instruments have mushroomed. To clocks and trip computers have been added printers security systems cruise controls, environmental controls, vehicle condition monitoring and multiple displays for dashboards. The dashboard itself will host more functions than could once be imagined without filling the dash with gauges, and many that were once inconceivable such as speech synthesis. As well as increasing the information content of automotive instruments, it is believed at Smiths Industries these advances will provide new sales features which could prove to be invaluable in the marketplace.
