The first computers used in automobiles were engine control computers installed in the early 1980s to meet increasingly tight EPA emission control specifications that could no longer be met with catalytic converters, mechanical control devices, etc. As the engine control task used only a small amount of the actual capacity of these computers, it was not long before car manufacturers began adding additional tasks to the computers.
