Plastics & Today's Automobiles

Traditionally, car electrical systems included alternators, batteries, solenoids, front and rear lights, and spark plugs. In the last 20 years, however, the electrical anatomy of a car has undergone a major revolution. Auto electrical system components are now more numerous and important than ever. Computer chips regulate and monitor everything from ABS brakes, fuel injection, and oxygen sensors, to the latest in GPS navigation equipment, obstacle sensors, and state-of-the-art stereos. Plastics make possible the inclusion, operation, interconnection and housing of these electrical devices.
