Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for enabling verification of first data from a detection system of a first vehicle, the method includes receiving the first data from the detection system of the first vehicle, the first data being indicative of one or more objects in a surrounding of the vehicle, and the first data being at least partially based on a detection of the one or more objects in the surrounding of the first vehicle at random detection times of the detection system, receiving second data from a detection system of the second vehicle, the second data being indicative of one or more objects in the surrounding of the first vehicle, and comparing the first data to the second data.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to generation of an occupant settings profile for an occupant in a vehicle. A corresponding method for providing a control instruction for controlling at least one occupant setting for a seat location in a vehicle can comprise receiving, by a system comprising a processor, audio data based on speech of an occupant inside the vehicle, identifying, by the system, a seat location of the occupant inside the vehicle based on the received audio data, identifying, by the system, an occupant settings profile indicative of one or more occupant settings of the occupant based on a comparison of the received audio data with stored audio data associated with different occupant settings profiles, and providing, by the system, the control instruction for controlling the at least one occupant setting for the identified seat location of the occupant based on the identified occupant settings profile.

Abstract: A thermal management system for a traction battery of an electric vehicle. The thermal management system includes an actuator for influencing a temperature of the traction battery, at least one microphone for detecting a sound in an environment of the thermal management system, and a control unit. The actuator and the microphone are communicatively connected to the control unit such that the actuator is controllable, by the control unit, based on a detection signal of the at least one microphone. Moreover, an electric vehicle having a traction battery and such a thermal management system is presented. Furthermore, a method for operating a thermal management system for a traction battery of an electric vehicle is disclosed. The method is applied during charging of the traction battery.
