  • Patent number: 12371013
    Abstract: A method for operating a driver assistance system of a vehicle includes the steps of: checking whether there is a motorway exit or roadworks on a first side of the vehicle; checking whether an environment sensor system of the vehicle detects a lane marking that bounds a lane of the vehicle on a second side, which is opposite the first side; if the result of the checking is that there is a motorway exit or roadworks on the first side of the vehicle and that the environment sensor system detects the lane marking, operating a lane-keeping function of the driver assistance system; and if the result of the checking is that there is a motorway exit or roadworks on the first side of the vehicle and that the environment sensor system does not detect the lane marking, triggering a takeover request to a driver of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12301339
    Abstract: A method performs time-synchronization between a master clock and a plurality of slave clocks. The method performs a forward time-synchronization from the master clock to the plurality of slave clocks. Further, the method performs a reverse time-synchronization from the plurality of slave clocks to a corresponding plurality of validator clocks. In addition, the method validates the time-synchronization between the plurality of slave clocks, notably between the master clock and the plurality of slave clocks, based on the plurality of validator clocks.
