The first CAPS functions
CAPS is not light-years away in fact, the first CAPS functions are already on the market. The starting point for networking within the framework of CAPS are systems and components which are often already present in the vehicle. These include, for example, the airbag control unit, ESC Electronic Stability Control or the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
