Abstract: Various embodiments include a system for a vehicle having a body a door held on the body and pivotable about a pivot axis. An example includes: an obstacle identification system to detect a collision event occurring between the door and an object within surroundings of the vehicle; and a sensor pivotably held on the body, the sensor having a field of vision covering an angle about the pivot axis in plan view along the pivot axis. The field of vision covers a subregion of a total monitoring region of the obstacle identification system, wherein the field of vision is smaller than the total monitoring region.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a device comprising: a communication apparatus for sending and/or receiving data via a data transmission bus and a device-side connection apparatus connecting the device to the bus. The connection apparatus includes electrical contacts to be connected in pairs to bus-side electrical contacts of a connection apparatus on the bus. The contacts comprise a data contact for a data signal, a supply contact to transmit a first supply potential, a second supply contact to transmit a second potential different from the first, and a third contact. A voltmeter measures a potential present at the third contact with respect to the first supply potential and/or the second supply potential. The communication apparatus assigns an address to the device for sending and/or receiving the data via the bus, selected from multiple different predefined addresses on the basis of the potential measured at the third contact.
