The term “automotive” refers to any type of self-propelled vehicle and is derived from the Greek autos (self) and the Latin motivus (of motion). Elmer Sperry (1860–1930), the term’s inventor, first used it to describe automobiles in 1898.
A self-propelled motor vehicle intended for on-land passenger transportation is referred to as an automobile. Typically, it has a four-wheeled design and an internal combustion engine that is most frequently powered by petrol, a liquid petroleum product.
Airbags, seat belts, and anti-lock brake systems are just a few of the safety components of a car that are controlled and monitored by embedded systems. In the case of a collision, these systems cooperate to keep the driver and passenger’s safe.
Many different technologies in a variety of industries use embedded systems. Several instances include: Automobiles. In most modern cars, there are numerous computers—up to 100, sometimes—or embedded systems that are used to carry out various functions.
An automobile or other motor vehicle’s electrical systems or subsystems are controlled by an embedded system called an electronic control unit (ECU), often referred to as an electronic control module (ECM).
Today, a typical car has more than 40 ECUs, and a luxury car may have more than 150. ECUs are used in many different automotive systems, including ADAS, infotainment, body control, and comfort systems.

The engine, fuel system, gearbox, electrical system, cooling, and lubrication system, and chassis, which include the suspension system, braking system, wheels, and tires, and body, are the key systems of a car.
Although “automobile” and “automotive” are sometimes used interchangeably, their definitions are not necessarily the same. An automobile is a four-wheeled vehicle used for transportation, while the term “automotive” can refer to any motor vehicle.
Engine:- The internal combustion engine is the beating heart and soul of your car. The timing chain, camshaft, crankshaft, spark plugs, cylinder heads, valves, and pistons are some of the components found in the engine block.
Transmission:- The gearbox, which is a gearbox full of gears and gear trains, efficiently utilizes the torque of the engine to change ratios and propel the vehicle.
Battery:- The battery provides the electricity required to power the electrical systems in your car. Your automobile won’t run without a battery.
Alternator:- As a component of the electrical system, the alternator powers the electrical system while your automobile is operating and charges the battery.
Radiator:- By eliminating heat from coolant before it is circulated back through the engine, the radiator aids in keeping the engine cool.
Brakes:- Your brakes are one of the most crucial safety features on your car and are located on all four wheels. Both the front and rear wheels have disc brakes, which are equipped with calipers and brake pads. On the back wheels of some cars, you might find drum brakes with brake shoes and wheel cylinders.
