    Abstract: A motor vehicle roof module having a panel component whose outer surface at least partially forms the roof skin of the vehicle roof and serves as an outer sealing surface of the roof module, and at least one environmental sensor by means of which a vehicle environment can be detected during autonomous or semi-autonomous driving of the motor vehicle. The roof module has a kinematic system having a drive and configured to move the at least one environmental sensor from a retracted position into a deployed position, in which the at least one environmental sensor protrudes beyond the roof skin to detect the vehicle environment, and to fix the at least one environmental sensor at least in the deployed position in such a manner that the at least one environmental sensor cannot be moved by an external force.

    Abstract: A motor vehicle, in particular for a passenger car, having a support structure, a roof skin, which is disposed on the support structure, and at least one sensor module having at least one environment sensor for detecting a vehicle environment and having at least one housing for accommodating the environment sensor. The housing of the sensor module is disposed on the support structure and has a construction which collapses or is deformed when defined external forces are applied such that deformation forces, which are exerted by the sensor module on the support structure or on another roof module component, are reduced.

    Abstract: A roof module of a motor vehicle having a roof substructure, a roof cladding, which forms an outer visible surface of the roof module, and at least one sensor module having an environment sensor for sensing a vehicle environment, the roof cladding having a central section having a curved surface and at least one edge section, which adjoins the central section and whose incline is larger than the incline of the central section and which is transparent to the environment sensor at least in the area of a signal cone of the environment sensor. The environment sensor being at least partially disposed below a roof surface defined by the roof cladding.
