Vehicle comfort systems

vehicle comfort systems

Vehicle comfort features such as navigation, tilt or inclination measurement, telematics systems, car key modules, car alarm or eCall systems are a rapidly growing field of application for MEMS sensors.

Typically, the required performance level for these MEMS sensors is lower when compared to sensors for sophisticated safety applications like airbag or vehicle stability systems.
