Bundling of camera and radar raw data channels

An apparatus for bundling two data channels via a point-to-point connection, said apparatus comprising:

• a first data channel which transmits a plurality of sequences of first data via a first line, wherein a data gap having a first predefined size is arranged between two sequences of first data in each case;
• a second data channel which transmits a plurality of sequences of second data via a second line;
• wherein the first data channel transmits camera raw data and the second data channel transmits raw data from a radar, lidar, ultrasonic, and/or laser system;
• a third data channel which transmits a sequence of third data via a third line;
• and
• a multiplexing apparatus having a multiplexer and a buffer, wherein
• a first input of the multiplexing apparatus is connected to the first line and the first input is connected to the multiplexer,
• a second input of the multiplexing apparatus is connected to the second line and the second input is connected to the multiplexer via the buffer which is designed to temporarily store the second data from the second line, and
• an output of the multiplexing apparatus is connected to the third line and the output is connected to an output of the multiplexer, and
• wherein the multiplexer is designed to transmit the sequence of first data from the first input to the output and to transmit the sequence of second data from the second input to the output if, at the time the data gap starts at the first input, the buffer has been filled with second data having a second predefined size, wherein the second predefined size is smaller than or equal to the first predefined size, so that the sequences of third data have a bundling of sequences of first data and sequences of second data.
