Digitization is an integral aspect of modern vehicle technology. With each successive generation, the implementation of electronic technology continues to rise. Vehicles are full of electronics such as engine control systems, driver assistance systems and media centers. These electronic technologies are constantly advancing, as seen with the rise of the “connected car” and the emergence of autonomous driving.
A core element of a vehicle’s electronics is the wire harness. It acts as a backbone connecting the digital components to each other, and to other components, such as the engine or chassis. It also supplies power to the additional onboard electronic systems.
