  • Publication number: 20250229700
    Abstract: A method for operating a headlight device for a vehicle is provided and may include emitting monochromatic light of multiple predetermined different wavelengths from a light source, determining a respectively backscattered amount of light and/or luminance with reference to the respectively emitted wavelength, identifying wavelengths of light which fall below a predetermined level of backscattered light, and operating the headlight device with monochromatic light having the identified wavelengths.

  • Patent number: 11999373
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an operating method for an autonomously operatable device. According to the method, sensor data relating to a current surroundings condition of the device are detected using at least one sensor device in an autonomous operating mode, and the sensor data is supplied to a control algorithm which is implemented as a machine learning algorithm and which learns in a self-contained manner. The control algorithm estimates the current surroundings condition of the device on the basis of the sensor data and makes a control decision. A degree of quality relating to the control decision is ascertained using a monitoring algorithm which is independent of the control algorithm, and the device is operated according to the control decision depending on the ascertained degree of quality of the control decision or the control decision is rejected and the device is set to a secure operating state.
