Abstract: A roof module for a motor vehicle roof 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, at least one environment sensor configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals through a see-through area for detecting a vehicle environment around an optical axis of the environment sensor, and at least one cleaning nozzle configured to clean the see-through area. Viewed in the direction in which the optical axis of the environment sensor points, the at least one cleaning nozzle is disposed in such a manner in an area of the panel component in front of the see-through area that the at least one cleaning nozzle can be adjusted between a retracted position and a deployed position by means of at least one drive kinematics unit.

Abstract: A sensor module, for being fitted on a roof module and/or on a motor vehicle, has at least one retractable and extendable environment sensor and has a weatherstrip arrangement, which forms a separating barrier between a wet area, from which it is possible to drain liquid from the sensor module, and a dry area. The weatherstrip arrangement has at least one flexure bearing and/or a folding joint and/or a living hinge.

Abstract: A vehicle roof, having a roof skin, which forms an visible exterior surface of the vehicle roof, and a sensor unit having at least two environment sensors for detecting a vehicle environment, the sensor unit being disposed below the roof skin and attached to a support and having a mount for the at least two environment sensors. Thermal decoupling members are disposed between the support and the mount.

Abstract: A roof module for forming a vehicle roof having a panel component whose external surface at least partially forms a roof skin of the vehicle roof, the roof skin functioning as an outer sealing surface of the roof module, the roof module having at least one module component, the roof module having a drive kinematic unit which is configured to displace the at least one module component from a retracted position to an extended position in which the at least one module component protrudes over the roof skin, and the roof module having at least one cleaning nozzle. The drive kinematic unit may be configured to also displace the at least one cleaning nozzle between a retracted position and an extended position.

Abstract: A sensor module for being disposed on a motor vehicle has at least one environment sensor configured to send/and or receive electromagnetic signals for detecting a vehicle environment and a sensor housing at least partially surrounding and/or enclosing and/or encasing the at least one environment sensor. The sensor housing has at least one housing portion made of a metallic material, the housing portion being in heat-transferring connection with the at least one environment sensor, allowing exhaust heat emitted by the environment sensor and/or introduced into the sensor module from outside to be discharged via the at least one housing portion.

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.
