Synopsis - From Iron to Silicon: The Evolution of Automotive Engineering
From Iron to Silicon is a captivating journey through the technological revolutions that shaped the automotive world. Beginning with the first mechanical dreams of the 1800s and advancing through the rise of combustion engines, industrial manufacturing, digital tools, embedded electronics, simulation software and artificial intelligence, this book reveals how engineering transformed the automobile from a simple machine into a smart, connected and intelligent system.
Blending history, technical insight and real-world engineering culture, the book shows how each generation of innovators pushed boundaries, reinvented processes and redefined what a vehicle can be. More than a timeline, it is a tribute to human creativity, resilience and the relentless pursuit of innovation.
Whether you are an engineer, a student, or an enthusiast of automotive technology, From Iron to Silicon offers a rich, accessible and inspiring look at the past, present and future of mobility.
