Abstract: An image is displayed by smartglasses, the image being at least partly superimposed on a real environment of the smartglasses when the real environment is viewed through the smartglasses. In this case, the image represents an image of the real environment which is recorded by a night-vision image-recording device. The image is displayed in such a way that an image object in the recorded image, which corresponds to a real object arranged in the real environment, is displayed in the image in a manner overlapping the real object in the real environment. In the dark and in the event of poor visibility, potential hazards can be perceived significantly better by virtue of the night-vision images in order that additional driver-assisting information is provided and traffic safety is increased.

Abstract: A method for operating a braking device of a drive train of a vehicle, the drive train including an automatic gearbox of a vehicle, and the vehicle further having a gear-side parking lock, a service brake, and a parking brake that can be operated independently from the service brake. When a parking condition occurs, the parking lock may be engaged by a control device if the vehicle is protected from rolling away by a service brake that can be operated independently from the parking brake. The parking lock may then be configured to remain engaged until a driving condition occurs for the vehicle. This may optimize the parking lock operation in such a way that reliably prevents a disengagement impulse when the parking lock is disengaged, preventing the vehicle from rolling when entering or leaving a parked state.

Abstract: An in-vehicle system for providing a driver with access to functionality of a mobile device that includes a head unit with an in-vehicle display for providing infotainment to the driver, software that configures the user interface with a graphical scheme native to the head unit, and a software interface by which the head unit can receive deep links from the mobile device.

When a user selects a deep link from within an in-vehicle software application, the deep link is followed and the appropriate application context is rendered by mobile device. The application context is then mirrored onto the in-vehicle display, where a driver can view and interact with it using mirroring technology.

A first axle is operatively connected permanently and a second axle is operatively connected at least intermittently via a clutch to a drive device. For the second axle coupled to the drive device, a maximum torque of the drive device is reduced by a specific safety value. At drive start, the safety value is set to a specific initial value and subsequently is reduced or increased throughout a specific period of time.

Abstract: An embodiment relates to a method for predicting a voltage dip in a vehicle electrical system before a planned start of a load in a motor vehicle. The embodiment operates to ascertain a value of supply current expected to be required after the start of the load. An electrical voltage source and an energy store connected in parallel to a voltage source via the vehicle electrical system provide the supply current for operating the load. The energy store blocks a charge current into the energy store or blocks a discharge current out of the energy store based on a vehicle electrical system voltage of the vehicle electrical system being greater than a maximum value. Based on an instantaneous value of the vehicle electrical system voltage, the embodiment further ascertains a proportion of the supply current that the voltage source generates as a source current without the energy store until the vehicle electrical system voltage has fallen to the maximum value.

An authenticity test on the basis of the device identifier is performed. If a test result of the authenticity test is positive, communication data of the device addressed to at least one further device of the motor vehicle are received at the first port and transmitted in a first VLAN of a communication network of the motor vehicle to the at least one further device. If the test result is negative, the communication data are rejected at the first port. A diagnostic inquiry for the device is received from a diagnostic device at a second port of the switch device. Independently of the test result the diagnostic inquiry is forwarded via the first port to the device in a second VLAN of the communication network.
