What are Automotive Sensors?

[AlexandraRose]

Automotive sensors are input devices of the automotive computer system, used to detect engine operating conditions related to ignition advance angle. They convert this information into electrical signals and input them to the electronic control unit (ECU), serving as the basis for calculating and controlling ignition timing. The main automotive sensors include air flow sensors, ABS sensors, throttle position sensors, crankshaft position sensors, oxygen sensors, and oil pressure sensors. Automotive sensor classification: 1. Environmental monitoring: Environmental monitoring sensors are used to detect and perceive the surrounding environment, which are essential for autonomous driving; 2. Vehicle body sensing: Vehicle body sensing sensors are used to obtain vehicle information such as tire pressure, oil pressure, and vehicle speed, which are fundamental sensors necessary for maintaining normal, stable, and safe vehicle operation.
