PDC....

Most of us have ECU's, some have Ignition controllers, then there's Gear Controllers, well what about PDC's?
Power distribution controllers, that replace your stupid relays and fuses with logic controlled electronic switches with programmable current limits. Programmable switch logic and the like.
All in one nice little box...
These aren't new, they're out there in the motorsports community and ain't cheap...
Well what about the rest of us?, the club racers, the hot rod builders?, we're still dinking around with relays, clunky switches, and if we're on the high end of this scale, we've got panel mounted breakers....
Wow, now isn't that exciting?
Our cell phones pack more computing power that our first PC (depending on our age), and yet we use power management technology in our prized vehicles that was invented in the 1800's...
The programmable panel switches that I've seen connect to yet another stupid relay/fuse center.
I myself am ready to move beyond all this, however there's nothing to fill that void...
It's Motec motor$port style or the relay highway...
Now wouldn't these be cool running our nice little PDU?
Food for thought...
