Major car firms are now looking at neural networks to solve the demanding engine control and diagnostic requirements created by tightening emissions regulations and the need for fuel economy. Ford, for one, has introduced the Econoline van which uses a neural net to detect misfire in its V10 engine. Chrysler, meanwhile, is working on developing a neural method for controlling variable valve timing in next generation fuel efficient engines, and General Motors recently gave a paper with the UK neural network chip firm Axeon on a sensor-replacement application.
