 Introduction – Vehicle Sensors
What is a sensor?
A sensor is a device that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical
environment. The input can be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure or any number of
other environmental phenomena. The output is generally a signal that is converted to a
human-readable display at the sensor location or transmitted electronically over a
network for reading or further processing.

Summary
- The automotive sensor market is an attractive and still-growing multibillion-dollar
market characterized by very high production volumes of sensors that must be
extremely reliable and low in cost.
- Microsystem sensor technologies meet these needs and are thus widely accepted in
automotive sensor applications. Growth in the sensor market continues to be driven by
increasing demands for more safety and comfort (included semi-autonomous and
autonomous) and greater reductions in emissions.
- Existing sensors will continue to find new applications, and new sensors will emerge to
improve functionality.
