Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method, to a computer program comprising instructions, and to a device for environment sensing in a vehicle. For the environment sensing, environment data are recorded by means of at least one vehicle sensor. A prediction is calculated by means of a trained machine learning model based on the recorded environment data, wherein the prediction includes a measure of uncertainty for the prediction. Equally, a deviation value is determined for the recorded environment data that provides a measure of how significantly the recorded environment data deviate from training data for the machine learning model. At least one conformity score is determined based on the measure of uncertainty and the deviation value and then a prediction set is determined based on the at least one determined conformity score. Then, a control signal is generated depending on the determined prediction set.

Abstract: A method for a data processing installation for obtaining an operating state of a first autonomous vehicle. The method includes determining a current state of the first autonomous vehicle from a received measurement value of a sensor of a second vehicle. When the current state of the first autonomous vehicle deviates from a setpoint state, the method includes sending a first message to the first autonomous vehicle, wherein the first message contains a command to travel autonomously to a service location. Alternatively, the method includes sending a second message to a person responsible for the first autonomous vehicle, wherein the second message includes information about the deviation of the current state of the first autonomous vehicle from the setpoint state. Alternatively, the method includes sending a third message to service personnel, wherein the third message contains an instruction for the service personnel to set the vehicle to the setpoint state.

Abstract: A method for autonomously or semi-autonomously carrying out a cooperative driving maneuver and a vehicle. Provision is made for a maneuvering vehicle which plans the execution of a driving maneuver to determine a maneuvering area of a road in which the driving maneuver is potentially executed, to communicate with one or more vehicles via vehicle-to-vehicle communication to detect one or more cooperation vehicles which will presumably be inside the maneuvering area during the execution of the driving maneuver, and to adapt its own driving behavior to the presumable driving behavior of the one or more cooperation vehicles to execute the planned driving maneuver. The disclosure provides a possibility which, by vehicle-to-vehicle communication, allows vehicles for jointly carrying out a cooperative driving maneuver to be identified and then allows the cooperative driving maneuver to be executed.
