A small and relatively slow in-vehicle communication and networking serial bus system, LIN bus is used to integrate intelligent sensors and actuators. LIN can also communicate over a vehicle's power distribution system with a DC-LIN transceiver.

It was intended to be implemented on an optical fiber, so the bit rates of this bus system are much higher than previous automotive bus technologies. MOST buses provide an optical solution for automotive peripherals like car radios, CD and DVD players, and GPS navigation systems.
