  • Patent number: 11836987
    Abstract: A fusion system for a motor vehicle includes at least two environment sensors, a neural network coupled to the environment sensors for fusing environment information from the environment sensors, a fusion apparatus for fusing environment information from the environment sensors, and a control device coupled to the neural network and the fusion apparatus. The control device is set up to adapt the environment information fused via the neural network, depending on the environment information fused by the fusion apparatus, and to provide the adapted environment information to a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20180131539
    Abstract: A communication system for units and controllers of a vehicle includes a unit configured to transmit a plurality of messages to a controller. A first communication path is configured to transfer a message from the plurality of messages between the unit and the controller, and a second communication path configured to transfer the message from the plurality of messages between the unit and the controller. The second communication path is redundant with respect to the first communication path, and the unit is configured to transmit the plurality of messages to the controller alternately via the first communication path or the second communication path.

  • Patent number: 9485500
    Abstract: A method is provided for visualizing specified safety-critical information in a vehicle. First display data are (AD_1) are determined, which are representative of a first image (B1) to be visualized, which provides the specified safety-critical information in a specified first signalization form, the first display data (AD_1) being determined free of specified safety regulations. The first display data (AD_1) are sent to a display unit (DISP) of the vehicle and test data (DD) are read out, which are representative of an image visualized on the display unit (DISP). The test data (DD) are checked and, if the test data (DD) are representative of a faulty provision of the specified safety-critical information, second display data (AD_2) are sent to the display unit (DISP), which are representative of a second image (B2) to the visualized, which provides the specified safety critical information in a specified second signalization form, which differs from the first signalization form.
