6) In Automotive Industry:
Computer technology has been incorporated into automobiles. Computers are involved (as CAD systems) not only in the design of cars but also in the manufacturing and testing process, perhaps making use of CIM technology. Today’s automobiles include numerous computer chips that analyze sensor data and alert the driver to actual and potential malfunctions. For example, the antilock braking system (ABS) is computer controlled. Other computers provide warnings of actual and potential malfunctions. Automobile manufacturers are developing safer, “smart” airbags and remote tire-pressure monitors. Although increased reliability has been achieved by implementing such computerization, a drawback is that only automotive repair shops with a large investment in high-tech interfaces and diagnostic tools for these computerized systems can handle any but the simplest repairs.

Each part of the vehicle is developed through computer systems. The machines inside the car works on the computer chip attached to the engine. Once the engine is switched on, all starts working. For Eg: When a car is going to hit any thing near by, it gives you a warning sign through sensors.
