| At the same time that electrical and electronic content is being increased, there is a symbiotic demand from auto makers to reduce the kerb weight of vehicles, and one way that this is being achieved is by increasing the amount of electrical/electronic control in place of mechanical connections. This latter choice allows homologated kerb weights to be kept to the minimum possible; any additional weight is the responsibility of the driver, not the vehicle maker. |
