Abstract: -Technology has become an inevitable part of the human life, hence, automobiles are no exception. The use of microcontrollers to automate the automobile industry is increasing with every passing decade. Increasing use of Microcontrollers has not only led to automation but simpler construction of the subsystems and reduced use of wires for interconnection leading to increased portability. Microcontroller is dedicated for a specific task and their use in the automobile industry has led to automation in incredible areas ranging from Electronic Stability System(ECS), Automatic Parking to Smart Phone controlled car security. Hence, due to greater customer expectations regarding fuel economy, safety, comfort, performance, maintenance and ease of operation, in the future microcontrollers will be increasingly involved in our day to day lives to eventually get better performing automobiles.
