Vehicle control system having a computer integrated with a rewritable and nonvolatile memory
First Claim
1. A vehicle control system installed in a vehicle and including a computer integrated with a first nonvolatile memory that is rewritable, the vehicle control system comprising:
- a second nonvolatile memory storing therein software, the software allowing the computer to execute an at least part of vehicle control, and a writing unit accessible to the first and second nonvolatile memories and configured to;
read out the software from the second nonvolatile memory at a given time; and
write the readout software into the first nonvolatile memory.

Abstract
A vehicle control system is installed in a vehicle. The vehicle control system includes a computer integrated with a first nonvolatile memory that is rewritable. The vehicle control system includes a second nonvolatile memory. The second nonvolatile memory stores therein software. The software allows the computer to execute an at least part of vehicle control. The vehicle control system also includes a writing unit accessible to the first and second nonvolatile memories. The writing unit reads out the software stored in the second nonvolatile memory at a given time. The writing unit writes the readout software into the first nonvolatile memory.

21. A program product embedded in a media accessible by a computer installed in a vehicle and integrated with a first nonvolatile memory that is rewritable, in which a second nonvolatile memory accessible by the computer stores therein software, the software allowing the computer to execute an at least part of vehicle control, the program product comprising:
-
first means for instructing a computer accessible to the second nonvolatile memory to read out the software therefrom at a given time; and
second means for instructing a computer accessible to the first nonvolatile memory to write the readout software into the first nonvolatile memory.
