  • Abstract
    A car is skidding and stabilizes itself without driver intervention; an airbag fires before the driver involved in an impending automotive crash impacts the steering wheel thereby significantly reducing physical injury risk; - all these systems are based exclusively on MEMS sensors. These crucial MEMS sensor components of electronic control systems are making system reactions to human needs more intelligent, precise, and at much faster reaction rates than humanly possible.
