Abstract: A roof module of a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car, the roof module may have a roof skin, which forms an outer visible surface of the roof module, at least one sensor module having an environment sensor to detect a vehicle environment in an autonomous or semi-autonomous driving mode of the motor vehicle, and a sensor cover forming a see-through area for the environment sensor. The roof module may have a detector for detecting foreign particles on the see-through area of the sensor cover.

Abstract: A roof module for a motor vehicle may have a roof skin, a roof frame on a vehicle body and have at least one transverse frame part extending in the transverse roof direction and a longitudinal frame part extending in the longitudinal roof direction on either side of a longitudinal center roof plane, and a roof opening system having a lid element configured to be displaced on guide rails, which are part of the longitudinal frame parts of the roof frame, in the longitudinal roof direction relative to the roof frame, and/or a solid roof element having a transparent see-through portion and being rigidly connected to the roof frame, having a sensor system comprising at least one sensor module which has at least one environmental sensor and is located outside of the roof opening and/or outside of the transparent see-through portions and is covered by a cover element.

Abstract: A vehicle roof, in particular of a passenger car, having a roof cladding arrangement and a roof substructure, which is at least partially covered by the roof cladding arrangement, and at least one environment sensor for charting a vehicle environment and another electrical installation for emitting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation, characterized in that the roof cladding arrangement comprises a visor which has a groove-free outer visible surface, in that the environment sensor and the other electrical installation are disposed beside each other or above one another behind and/or below the visor and in that the visor has a first transmission area having a first transmission behavior for the environment sensor and a second transmission area having a second transmission behavior for the other electrical installation, the second transmission behavior differing from the first transmission behavior.

Abstract: A roof module for forming a vehicle roof on a motor vehicle. The roof module may have a panel component which at least partially forms a roof skin of the vehicle roof, the roof skin serving 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; and at least one cleaning nozzle configured to clean the see-through area. At least one flow guide element is disposed on the panel component, the flow guide element being configured to focus headwind onto at least part of the see-through area.

Abstract: A vehicle shell assembly, having a plate-like plastic body having an outside and an inside. A lighting unit is provided which is disposed on the inside and is configured to be switched between an active state and a passive state; the inside of the plastic body is provided with an opaque light-impermeable coating which has at least one gap; and the plastic body may have of a translucent material so that the gap is covered by the plastic body to the outside when the lighting unit is in the passive state and defines a light pattern which is visible from the outside when the lighting unit is in the active state.

Abstract: A sensor arrangement of a motor vehicle, the sensor arrangement having a sensor element emitting electromagnetic radiation in a measuring direction to determine a measurement signal, and a cover element disposed in front of the sensor element in the measuring direction and being an injection-molded plastic part permeable to the electro-magnetic radiation and having an outer side facing a vehicle environment and an inner side facing the sensor element, and a heating means comprising conductor tracks. The conductor tracks can be applied to a film formed to the inner side of the cover element during production of the cover element by injection-molding, the film with the conductor tracks thus forming an insert of the injection-molded cover element, the conductor tracks being located on the side of the film facing away from the sensor element.
