Germany’s FEV GmbH will unveil its Smart Vehicle Demonstrator car next month at the CES electronics show in Las Vegas.
Outfitted with a variety of cameras, radar and lidar sensors, the vehicle will be capable of fully autonomous Level 5 operation, according to FEV. But the company says a driver will operate the vehicle during demonstrations on Las Vegas streets.
The demonstration vehicle will feature multiple GPS units and two types of embedded controller hardware, which the company says will allow it to test different control algorithms. The latter is separated into three parts: perception, planning and decision/action.
The test car also will be capable of communicating with other vehicles and the surrounding infrastructure via an FEV-developed “microserver” architecture that can process data from a wide array of inputs. FEV says the system will be forward compatible with upcoming 5G protocols.
A cybersecurity feature will be linked to the communications bus to detect and prevent malicious attacks, according to the developer. The system also will serve as a firewall between external interfaces such as wi-fi, Bluetooth, cellular, OBDII port and the vehicle bus.

Special Report: Toyota & Issues Electric
Although Toyota’s focus on hybrid powertrains at the seeming expense of the development of a portfolio of full battery electric vehicles (BEVs) for the market could cause some concern among those of an environmental orientation, in that Toyota doesn’t seem to be sufficiently supportive of the environment, in their estimation. Here’s something that could cause a reconsideration of that point of view.
