Since the early seventies, the development of the automobile has been characterized by a
steady increase in the deployment of onboard electronic systems and software. This trend
continues unabated and is driven by rising end-user demands and increasingly stringent
environmental requirements. Today almost every function onboard the modern vehicle is
electronically controlled or monitored.
 
The software-based implementation of vehicle functions provides for unparalleled freedoms
of concept and design. However, automobile development calls for the accommodation of
contrasting prerequisites such as higher demands on safety and reliability vs. lower cost
ceilings, longer product life cycles vs. shorter development times along with a growing
proliferation of model variants. Automotive Software Engineering has established its
position at the center of these seemingly conflicting opposites. This book provides
background basics as well as numerous suggestions, rare insights, and cases in point
concerning those processes, methods, and tools that contribute to the surefooted mastery
of the use of electronic systems and software in the contemporary automobile. Special
emphasis is given to the electronic systems in powertrain, chassis, and body.
