Abstract: In a method for warning a driver of a single-track motor vehicle of leaving the traffic lane, at least one traffic lane boundary is ascertained by a video sensor system, the lateral distance of a reference point on the motor vehicle from the traffic lane boundary is ascertained, lean angle information of the motor vehicle describing the lean angle of the motor vehicle is ascertained, and it is ascertained, with the aid of at least the lateral distance and the lean angle information, whether part of the vehicle or of the rider projects beyond the traffic lane boundary.

Abstract: In a method for safely parking a vehicle, it is checked whether an emergency situation is present, and the vehicle is driven by the driver assistance system to a road shoulder upon recognition of an emergency situation. In controlling the driving operation, information is requested from an external database and taken into account by the driver assistance system.

Abstract: A sensor device includes an ultrasonic sensor and a sensor cover in the form of a foil, the ultrasonic sensor having an oscillatory sensor element, which is affixed inside a housing, having an end face, of the ultrasonic sensor, the ultrasonic sensor being able to be accommodated in a recess or bore hole of an external vehicle component, and the sensor element and the housing being able to be covered by the sensor cover on the outside, the sensor cover being mountable directly on the ultrasonic sensor and forming an at least essentially planar surface whose outline is adapted to the outline of the end face of the housing and coincides in an essentially flush manner with the end face of the housing of the ultrasonic sensor, and the sensor cover reflecting light having a color spectrum in the range of chrome color and a reflection capacity in the range of polished chrome.

Abstract: A parking assistance system for outputting parking instructions to the driver of a vehicle has a sensor device which is designed for performing a parking space measurement on the basis of parking space limits and generating parking space information on the basis of the parking space measurement; a program-controlled device which calculates the driving trajectory to be traveled on the basis of the parking space information generated and calculates a time to collision and/or a distance to collision, within which the vehicle will presumably collide with one of the parking space limits, from the parking space information generated and the calculated driving trajectory; and a warning signal transducer which generates a warning signal if the calculated period of time is less than a first limit value and/or the calculated distance to collision is less than a second limit value.

Abstract: A camera module having a scattered light diaphragm installed in front of a lens of the camera module. The scattered light diaphragm is in contact with the inside of a windshield, the scattered light diaphragm having a structure on its inside for reducing the incident light. The structure for reducing the incident scattered light includes at least one secondary ramp-shaped structure which is oriented perpendicular to the optical axis of the camera system.
