Abstract: A pixel lamp of a motor vehicle emanates light based on a control signal that represents an image sequence. A respective individual image from the image sequence corresponds to a respective light distribution currently needing to be provided by the pixel lamp. The route is captured by use of a vehicle camera, and the camera data are evaluated and the control signal is provided based on an ascertained advisory route accoutrement. The image sequence is provided at an image sequence frequency of greater than 24 Hz and includes at least one reference image for uniformly lighting the route, the vehicle camera is synchronized to the reference image, the advisory route accoutrement and information data associated with the advisory route accoutrement are ascertained from the provided camera data, the associated information data are compared with data of a database, and the control signal is ascertained based on the comparison.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a driver assistance system for a motor vehicle comprising a vehicle headlight, which is designed to illuminate the surroundings of the motor vehicle, and an image capture unit, which is designed to evaluate light having a pre-definable first polarization direction for generating image data as a function of the surroundings of the motor vehicle. The vehicle headlight is designed, during normal operations, in which a pre-definable light output is provided by the vehicle headlight, according to a pre-definable modulation pattern and/or with a pre-definable portion of the light output, to generate linearly polarized light with a second polarization direction to provide lighting for the surroundings. In addition, this disclosure relates to a motor vehicle with such a driver assistance system and a corresponding method.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to an illumination device for a motor vehicle. The illumination device provides a first light beam bundle with a first light distribution for illuminating an environment of the motor vehicle in a first operating mode, and provides a second light beam bundle with a second light distribution for displaying a measurement pattern onto the environment in a second operating mode. The illumination device comprises a control device designed to alternately periodically activate the first operating mode and the second operating mode. This disclosure also relates to a driver assistance system comprising such an illumination device and an image detection unit, as well as a motor vehicle comprising a driver assistance system of this type. This disclosure further relates to a corresponding method.

Abstract: A method for diagnosing and calibrating an exhaust gas sensor. An exhaust gas mass flow generated by an internal combustion engine is divided and a first part of the exhaust gas flow is conducted through a first exhaust gas path of a motor vehicle, and a second part of the exhaust path mass flow is conducted through a second exhaust gas path of the motor vehicle.
