Abstract: A vehicle including a number of adjustable parts each configured to be adjusted by a motor, a sensor configured to detect a first gesture performed by a first person in a first sensor area indicative of a number of operating events, and a controller configured to, responsive to receiving the first gesture from the sensor, provide the first person a first operating event option and a second operating event option to select either a first operating event or a second operating event, and responsive to receiving a second gesture indicative of a selection of the first operating event, command a first motor to adjust a first adjustable part of the number of adjustable parts.

Abstract: A closure element of a motor vehicle, the closure element having a closure body, to the exterior of which a decorative strip is connected. The decorative strip accommodates a radar sensor unit having a housing.

Abstract: A method for detecting a living being on a seat of a vehicle, further relating to a detection arrangement and to a vehicle. The method may include emitting electromagnetic waves at predetermined frequency or at a predetermined frequency band towards the seat by an electromagnetic radiator, receiving electromagnetic waves reflected on a surface by a sensor, detecting an object on the seat from a transit time of the emitted and the reflected electromagnetic waves between the radiator, the surface and the sensor by a detection device, detecting movements of the object from the reflected electromagnetic waves by the detection device if an object has been detected, determining from the detected movements of the object whether the detected object is a living being, and outputting a detection signal by way of the detection device if it has been determined that the detected object is a living being.

Abstract: A method for identifying and classifying objects in the surroundings of a motor vehicle, which method uses merely a single sensor for object detection. The method is characterized in that this single sensor moves in space while the object is being detected. In this case, during the measurement, the single sensor would act to a certain extent like a second sensor. The echo signals, reflected by the object, of different measurement cycles can be used to determine the differential speed, distance and angle. The method provides the possibility of being able to classify, by means of a single sensor, objects and items in the surroundings of a motor vehicle in terms of their size.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the interior of a vehicle including emitting electromagnetic waves of at least one frequency or at least one frequency band towards at least one seat arranged in the interior of the vehicle by means of an electromagnetic radiator, receiving reflected electromagnetic waves by means of a sensor, detecting a living object on the seat from the received reflected electromagnetic waves by means of a detection device, determining a volume of the detected object from the received reflected electromagnetic waves by means of the detection device, determining a weight characteristic of the detected object on the basis of the determined volume of the object by means of the detection device, outputting a detection signal representing the weight characteristic by way of the detection device, and actuating a safety system to make the interior safe in accordance with the detection signal.

Abstract: A door handle assembly for integration into a vehicle door including a support element coupled to the vehicle door, a handle element arranged on the support element, and a radar apparatus arranged on the support element or on or in the handle element and configured to emit radar radiation and to receive reflected radar radiation.

Abstract: A system for providing contactless movement of a vehicle door relative to a vehicle body including an electric-motor movement device for moving the vehicle door, a radar sensor system for detecting, in the region of the vehicle door, a gesture to be performed by a user, and a control device for controlling the movement device according to a detection by the radar sensor system. The radar sensor system is configured to detect, in a first operating mode, a movement in a detection region in an environment of the vehicle door and to detect, in a second operating mode, a gesture for moving the vehicle door, the radar sensor system being configured to switch to the second operating mode when a movement is detected in the first operating mode.
