EE Times - August 6, 2007 - (Page Cover2) It helps BMW create cars that automatically adapt to the road. How did one automaker enhance the driving experience? By working with Freescale to implement the industry’s first use of FlexRay™ technology in the new BMW X5. Sensors collect data such as road speed, steering angle and acceleration and pass it along the in-vehicle network. The vehicle’s suspension and handling then automatically adjust based on this information. Powerful Freescale microcontrollers are at the heart of this communications system, helping to create a smooth ride no matter how the road changes. Just one of the ways Freescale is making the world a smarter place—and putting automotive innovation into high gear. freescale.com/smarter Freescale™ and the Freescale logo are trademarks of Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
