2008-09-16	Manage growing complexity in automotive design Electric power windows have become one of the standard features in cars today. Most car buyers see power window as a must-have comfort feature. While the current trend for doors is towards a modular and lightweight approach, another growing trend is toward the inclusion of side airbags in the car. Such increased reinforcement and added components of the airbag function drive the need to achieve a smaller footprint for the door/window-lift ECUs. Higher integration delivers the key to manage increasing complexity like anti-pinch functionality.
