Embedded Technology, All around Us

1- It is estimated that in the near future, 30% of an airplane cost will be embedded systems.

2- The use of embedded systems in an airplane range from engine controls to entertainment devices to navigation equipment.

3- Aviation depends on embedded systems to process tickets, check-in luggage and manage logistics, among other critical functions.

4- Advanced car applications abound. From in-car cameras to judge the presence, weight, and position of occupants for best airbag deployment to rearview mirrors with image-recognition capabilities that sense impending rear-end collisions.

5- By 2010, over 35% of the final value of a new car will be from embedded electronics.

6- Embedded systems in a modern watch not only monitor different time zones but also register temperature, heart rate and sugar level in your blood stream.

7- Advances in electronics allow portability for a great number of everyday smart objects that rely on embedded systems to work and interact.

8- State-of-the-art automobiles use radar and laser sensors concealed in their grille to analyze road conditions. The information is fed into an on -board computer which coordinates with a global positioning system to pinpoint the precise location.

9- ABS is one of the many safety systems in a car that uses’s embedded electronics. ABS is one of themany safetysystems in a carthat uses’s embeddedelectronics.

10- Within the next five years the automotive market share of embedded systems is expected to increase by 36%.
