The proceedings of the second Ricardo international conference tookthe theme of systems integration which remain one of the mosttopical issues for the automotive industry. Whether in realisingthe ambition to move towards zero emission vehicles, increasing theinteractivity of occupant information systems, or pushing furtherthe boundaries of fuel efficiency, the need to considerengineering at a system level has never before been an important asit is today. Vehicle Systems Integration in the Wired World is avaluable update for all those senior engineers, managers, anddirectors involved in the specification, design, development, andsystems engineering of automotive products.
