:: 1394 IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY - OVERVIEW

The move toward a networked automobile began more than a decade ago. As electronics moved into systems ranging from mission-critical braking and engine control to entertainment and convenience features such as music systems and power mirrors, the electronic islands had to be tied to the driver's seat with what quickly became bulky wiring harnesses. The harnesses added significant weight and cost, and
were unreliable and inefficient to install and later service. Now, with the 1394 Automotive standard, these issues are resolved.

Current and future designs include the need to move video around the auto for safety, navigation, and entertainment applications. The 1394 Automotive standard offers the best combination of topology, performance, cost, and data security for these next-generation designs.
