Abstract: A method for operating an air inlet in a vehicle includes setting, via a touch-sensitive operator control unit in an air stream of the air inlet, a temperature and/or a volume flow of air flowing into an interior of the vehicle through the air inlet. The method also includes controlling a color of one or more luminous elements of the operator control unit depending on the setting of the temperature and/or of the volume flow. An apparatus for an inflow of air includes an air inlet, the air inlet configured to provide an inflow of an air stream into a vehicle interior, and a touch-sensitive operator control unit positioned in front of the air inlet such that the touch-sensitive control unit is disposed in the air stream, the touch-sensitive control unit being configured to set first and second operating parameters of the air inlet.

Abstract: For a three-dimensional corporal figure for communicating with a passenger in a motor vehicle, wherein the three-dimensional corporal figure may be locked in place in the motor vehicle, it is in particular provided that a communication from a passenger and a driver of the motor vehicle, respectively, to the three-dimensional corporal figure is carried out acoustically and/or haptic, and that a communication from the three-dimensional corporal figure to a driver or a passenger of the motor vehicle is carried out optically and/or acoustically.

Abstract: In a method and a system for communicating between motor vehicles, the method provides for a repeated sending of an initialization message by a first transceiver arranged in a first motor vehicle, wherein the initialization message includes an identification code of the first transceiver and its geographic position.
