As the number of electronic components increases, active and passive safety systems  that reduce the risk of accidents and the corresponding consequences have become increasingly complex. Active safety applications such as electric power steering, electronic parking brakes, active suspension systems, and anti-lock braking systems increasingly rely on sensors, brushed and brushless motors, and microcontrollers to improve performance and reliability. The latest technology is also driving the development of passive applications such as seat belt tensioners and airbags.
