    Abstract: A method is provided for adapting an adjustment of a mirror surface of an outside mirror of a motor vehicle to an eye point of a driver of the motor vehicle, as well as a motor vehicle having the outside mirror, wherein the outside mirror comprises an actuator, wherein the mirror surface is mounted in a housing of the outside mirror able to swivel by adjusting a respective actuator position on the actuator. In the method, an actuator position is coordinated with a projection point in an interior of the motor vehicle, the projection point being described by spatial coordinates in the interior of the motor vehicle on which a known light source is projected from outside the motor vehicle and directed at the mirror surface of the outside mirror. The eye point of the driver is determined, coordinating the eye point with spatial coordinates in the interior of the motor vehicle. The adjustment of the mirror surface is adapted to the eye point by adjusting at the actuator that actuator position which is coordinated with the projection point whose spatial coordinates correspond to the spatial coordinates of the eye point.

    Abstract: A method for determining the pose of a mobile unit having at least one sensor device, which is designed to register environment images of the mobile unit, and a map, in which at least one passable region is marked, includes registering at least one environment image by of the at least one sensor device and using the at least one registered environment image to calculate at least one collision-free region, and determining the pose of the mobile unit by a comparison of the at least one calculated collision-free region with the at least one passable region marked on the map. Furthermore, a system for carrying out the method is also described.

    Abstract: A vehicle having an active chassis system with curve tilting function, comprises a control unit, which when negotiating a curve determines a vehicle tilting angle on the basis of a current vehicle transverse acceleration or a correlated driving operation parameter, by which the vehicle transverse acceleration can be reduced, wherein the control unit uses the vehicle tilting angle so determined to trigger actuators of a suspension/shock absorbing system in order to adjust the vehicle tilting angle. The curve tilting function incorporates a prediction unit which provides the curve negotiation data for an upcoming curve. The vehicle tilting angle is set in consideration of the curve negotiation data.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for authenticating an image sensor, a system, a computer-readable storage medium, and a motor vehicle. The method includes providing a camera for a motor vehicle that includes an image sensor. Subsequently, a first noise profile of the image sensor is ascertained and is stored on a data memory. The method also includes ascertaining a second noise profile of the image sensor. Subsequently, the first noise profile is compared to the second noise profile and the image sensor is authenticated if a predetermined correspondence is determined in comparing the first noise profile to the second noise profile.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a motor vehicle performing a lane change maneuver in an at least partially automated manner. A first safety distance of the motor vehicle in relation to a target object relevant to the lane change maneuver is ascertained based on transverse guidance data of a transverse guidance module of the motor vehicle. An activation state of a longitudinal guidance module of the motor vehicle is ascertained, which indicates that the longitudinal guidance module is activated. A control parameter is ascertained, which indicates that the longitudinal guidance module considers the target object for the longitudinal guidance maneuver. Only if the activation state and the control parameter are present, a second safety distance, which is different from the first safety distance, is ascertained. The lane change maneuver is performed by way of the transverse guidance module in compliance with the second safety distance to the target object.
