Abstract: A method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle has a vehicle body and multiple wheels mounted relative to the vehicle body by a wheel suspension on the vehicle body. The vehicle body is capable of executing a pitching movement by the wheel suspension. The brake system has a wheel-individual wheel brake for at least some of the wheels. A pitch angle of the vehicle body is monitored, and the wheel brakes are actuated as a function of the acquired pitch angle. The pitch angle is calculated as a function of normal forces acting on the wheels.

Abstract: A method for operating an antilock brake system of a vehicle, in which a braking torque at at least one wheel of the vehicle is cyclically controlled in at least build-up phases and reduction phases, in order to prevent locking of the wheel. In a build-up phase, the braking torque is increased until a maximum adhesion at the wheel is exceeded, and in a subsequent reduction phase, the braking torque is reduced by a differential braking torque, which is ascertained, using a wheel acceleration value of the wheel measured after the build-up phase and a target acceleration value for the wheel.

Abstract: Automated driving systems intended for use in a vehicle can be simulated and validated using automatically generated simulation scenarios. A large number of simulation scenarios can be generated by augmenting a plurality of recorded scenarios with one or more extracted data streams. The extracted data streams can correspond to objects such as other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, or other obstacles or barriers. The extracted data streams can be generated automatically by identifying similar recorded scenarios and isolating differences between the similar recorded scenarios.

Abstract: Various techniques related to a sensor for use with autonomous driving and/or navigation of a vehicle. The techniques can include use of an elongated threaded member, an intermediate threaded member, and a tertiary member. The members can be operable to extend or retract a vehicle sensor on a platform. The members can also enable the sensor to retract upon application of a force external to the vehicle.
