According to the different impacts on the driving performance of automobiles, automotive electronic products can be classified into two categories: one is the automotive body electronic control device, which needs to be used in conjunction with the mechanical system on the vehicle, known as the "electromechanical combination" of automotive electronic devices. They include an engine control system, chassis control system, and body electronic control system (body electronic ECU), such as electronic fuel injection system, brake anti-lock control, anti-skid control, traction control, electronically controlled suspension, electronically controlled automatic transmission, electronic power steering, etc. Another type is automotive-mounted electronic devices, which are electronic devices that can be used independently in the automotive environment and are not directly related to the performance of the car itself. They include car information systems, navigation systems, car audio and television entertainment systems, in-car communication systems, internet devices, etc.
