Abstract: A safety device for the reversible disconnection of at least one electrical component of a motor vehicle, with a first switching device. An electrical connection of a first energy supply unit of the motor vehicle to the at least one electrical component, in particular to an electric drive of the motor vehicle, is present in a first switching state of the first switching device and is interrupted in a second switching state of the first switching device. The safety device has a second switching device. An electrical connection of a second energy supply unit of the motor vehicle, which is connected in parallel to the first energy supply unit and is designed as a capacitor, to the at least one electrical component is present in a first switching state of the second switching device and is interrupted in a second switching state of the second switching device.

Abstract: A method for the operation of a safety system of a motor vehicle in the event of a collision with a collision object, the acceleration of the motor vehicle being recorded by a plurality of collision sensors of the motor vehicle in various sensor data describing directions within the horizontal plane and being evaluated with regard to the triggering and/or an adaptation of an operating parameter as actions of restraint systems for occupants of the motor vehicle, wherein, of the sensor data, two motion values are determined which describe the motion of at least one occupant, especially all occupants, of the motor vehicle along at least one longitudinal direction and at least one transverse direction of the motor vehicle and which span a two-dimensional decision space, the ranges of action assigned to the actions being defined in the decision space and an action being carried out if the point in the decision space described by the motion values is within the range of action assigned to the action.

Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a fender provided at the front and the rear and at least one sensor device including a capacitively operating sensor and an associated control device for collision detection, wherein the sensor is arranged on a fender and is formed as a surface sensor which extends over at least half the width of the fender, wherein the control device is able to determine information resulting from a collision with an object by using the capacitance of the sensor, which changes as a result of collision-induced deformation of the sensor.
