    Abstract: The following assistance functions: (a) an operating instruction for the motor vehicle, stored on a memory device of at least one motor vehicle; (b) an operating instruction for the motor vehicle stored on a vehicle-external server device; and (c) a telephone connection to a customer advisor, are made available by an assistance system of at least one motor vehicle and a vehicle-external server device. The assistance system determines a vehicle function of the motor vehicle required to provide requested assistance for a vehicle occupant and generates an output from at least one assistance function, previously made available, by at least one output device of the motor vehicle in accordance with the vehicle function that was determined and/or a sensed user input by the vehicle occupant.

    Abstract: The present application relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle in an activated at least semi-autonomous driving mode, with the motor vehicle comprising a control unit which controls the motor vehicle in the at least one activated semi-autonomous driving mode. A detection device arranged in the motor vehicle detects at least one motor vehicle occupant (step S1). An authorization device linked to the detection device checks whether at least one of the at least one detected motor vehicle occupants meets at least one authorization criterion (step S2). If this is the case, the authorization device generates an enable signal (step S3a) and sends it to the control unit, which then activates the at least semi-autonomous drive mode (step S4). If the at least one authorization criterion is not met, the authorization device sends out an inquiry signal to an authorization device external to the vehicle (step S3b) and, depending on the external release signal received in response to the inquiry signal, forwards the enable signal to the control unit.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a state of charge of an energy storage device of a motor vehicle. A control device receives a first operator control signal and, only if the first operator control signal is received by a first operator control element of an operator control device and describes a user request to change a state of charge, a first operating mode of the control device is activated, whereby the control device is coupled to a power control device. A second operating mode of the control device, in which the control device is coupled to a monetarization device, is activated only if the first operator control signal is received by a second operator control element of the operator control device, the signal describing a user request to transmit a monetary value to a data server device external to the motor vehicle.

    Abstract: A trim part for a vehicle interior, in particular a visible side decorative strip or panel, with a brittle visible side cover layer that is susceptible to breaking in the event of a crash, in particular in the event of a head impact, such as a wood veneer or a carbon layer, which is injection-molded with a plastic carrier layer, said trim part being loaded in the event of a crash to deflection to breakage of the component. According to exemplary embodiments of the invention, in order to increase the breaking strength in the event of a crash, a fabric layer made from a textile material is integrated in the layer structure of the trim part.

    Abstract: A method for reducing reflection when operating a head-up display of a motor vehicle. The head-up display includes a covering disk element and a dimming element for dimming a deflected light beam of ambient light. A control device determines a light beam path of the deflected light beam, determines a current position and orientation of the dimming element, and determines a region to be kept free of the deflected light beam around the eye point of a user. Based on this, the control device determines whether the deflected light beam passes through the area to be kept free. If so, the control device generates a control signal for adjusting a position of the dimming element to dim the deflected light beam with an adjustment device, and the adjustment device adjusts the position of the dimming element depending on the control signal.
