Toyota RAV4 could get a "console-grade" video engine

General News

▤ Summary

Toyota Connected Services North America, working with consultancy Very Good Ventures, is developing Fluorite, an open-source game engine intended to provide console-grade 3D rendering for vehicle infotainment. The engine could display detailed 3D models of the vehicle and surrounding environment to support diagnostics and parking assistance, though these use cases are presented as technical possibilities rather than roadmapped features. The team evaluated existing engines such as Unreal and Unity before deciding to build Fluorite from scratch, and the impact on Toyota's prior Unity collaboration is unclear. Toyota says Fluorite remains in development and will only be shipped to production vehicles after meeting its rigorous quality standards.
