Wolfhard Lawrenz from the University of Applied Science in Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel (today: Ostfalia University of Applied Science), Germany, who had been hired as a consultant, gave the new network protocol the name 'Controller Area Network'. Engineers from Mercedes-Benz got involved early on in the specification phase of the new serial bus system, and so did Intel as the potential main semiconductor vendor. The new bus protocol was mainly supposed to add new functionalities – the reduction of wiring harnesses was just a by-product, but not the driving force behind the development of CAN. ![]() Because none of the available network protocols were able to fulfill the requirements of the automotive engineers, Uwe Kiencke started the development of a new serial bus system in 1983. In the early 1980s, engineers at Bosch were evaluating existing serial bus systems regarding their possible use in passenger cars. ![]()
