AI Thread Summary
Cars are equipped with numerous controllers and processors that perform various functions, primarily managed by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM oversees engine performance, transmission control, and other critical systems. Operating systems in vehicles vary, often tailored to specific functions or manufacturers. The Controller Area Network (CANBUS) is a key communication protocol that connects these components, facilitating data exchange. Understanding these systems is essential for grasping modern automotive technology and its complexities.

I search after information in these things:
I think there are a lot of controllers and processors in the car but in which devices in the car they are and what them doing in these devices?
What are the operating systems in the cars?

What is algorithm for robust control?​
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
That's a whole specialized field.

Search on CANBUS yields a forest of information.
And hobby sites where experimenters are tinkering with their cars.
 
You are asking about the PCM (Powertrain Control Module). There is a good overview of what it is, what it does, and its modes of operation at this page PCM.
 
Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
