Cover Story
A typical busy urban intersection highlights just some of the complexity challenges of AV testing - even without extreme weather,
nighttime conditions and potentially infinite unforeseen edge cases.
Driver reaction
times and human
performance is
an area FEV is
studying and will
likely expand into
further, according
to Tom Tasky.
into sensor systems. The learning curve involved with
all things related to ADAS and AV was admittedly
steep; FEV had no previous expertise in the new
domain. The move required new internal processes
focused on serving everyone from sensor startups to
incumbent Tier 1s and OEMs.
" It was a giant step, " Tasky explained. " We made
a critical investment in the platforms, including Ford
Fusion demonstrator/test vehicles, to get our ADAS
and AV testing services out on the road. We've invested
in people with the right skillsets. We found experts and
engaged with some universities. We needed to get up
to speed quickly, because a lot of our customers were
already working in this space and had invested heavily
to roll out their systems. They expect us to be in sync
with what they're doing. "
Tasky said. " This prompted our creation of a new
division, Intelligent Mobility, which I head in North
America. With this new group we broke away, in a
sense, from the 'engine mindset.' "
FEV management heard opportunity knocking
hard. There was particularly strong customer demand
to extend its hallmark benchmarking competencies
An exponential transition
Tasky asserts that his group has rapidly developed,
within a short period, a high level of maturity and
quality that enables them to benefit a diverse customer
base. " It's a specialty area of engineering, " he said.
" We keep adding people. But you can't just take an
engine-test or calibration engineer and throw them
