Centrifugal governor and router: what they have in common
- Step 1. Centrifugal governor — evolved into — Cruise control. Early systems were a development of the centrifugal governor.
- Step 2. Cruise control — is used in — Self-driving car. Adaptive cruise control is a step towards autonomy.
- Step 3. Self-driving car — has part — GPS (satellite navigation). Satellite navigation.
- Step 4. GPS (satellite navigation) — is used in — Car navigator. GPS.
- Step 5. Car navigator — has part — System on a chip (SoC). An SoC does the computing.
- Step 6. System on a chip (SoC) — is part of — Router. A packet-processing processor.
