I know that the auto industry is working on a plan to run our cars with, essentially, a two wire harness. (I am primarily talking about the lighting system here).
In this system, there will be a power wire and a serial data line. At every light socket in the car, the light will be controlled by a small chip in the socket that gets its instructions from the data line.
No more wires for stop, turn, tail, etc. Just two wires to virtually every bulb in the car! I have a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster (the most fun vehicle on the road, but that is beside the point) - the newest vehicle I'v owned and it is NOT wired like this. A co-worker's new car is a 2008 and IT is not wired like this, either.
MY QUESTION: Do any of you here know of a car that is already wired like this?
My bet is that it is STILL in the future... what say the contributors here?
