onboard computer
Car's digital mind
An onboard computer is a computer built into a vehicle, aircraft, spacecraft, or other machine rather than existing as a separate device.
It monitors systems, controls functions, and processes data in real time: The onboard computer detected a fuel leak.
The term distinguishes integrated computing from portable or external equipment brought aboard.
