Abstract: The autonomously driving vehicle is fitted with a GPS unit to which a library of points of interest is assigned, and comprises a human-machine interface that is connected to the GPS unit and which comprises at least one of the following input means for the input of a command for the most immediate possible stopping of the vehicle: a unit for speech input that is connected to the interface, a module for recognizing gestures that is connected to the interface, and a touch-sensitive screen that is connected to the interface.

Abstract: A ventilated seat having ventilation openings arranged on a seat surface of the seat, a ventilation device for generating an air flow, ventilation channels for air-conducting connection of the ventilation device to the ventilation openings, flow control devices for the individual opening and closure of the ventilation channels and/or of the ventilation openings, sensors for determining a force applied to the seat surface and/or a pressure acting on the seat surface and/or for determining an air pressure in the ventilation channels, and a control unit designed to control the flow control devices in accordance with the force determined and/or the pressure determined by the sensors.

Abstract: A method for adjusting a seat of a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes the step of capturing loading data of the seat, evaluating the loading data to determine a control dataset for periodically adjusting the seat based on the control dataset.

Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle comprising at least one light source designed to emit light for illuminating the surroundings of the vehicle is described. The method comprises the following steps: determining whether a road user approaches the vehicle to within a predetermined distance; determining the distance between the road user and the vehicle; and illuminating the surroundings of the vehicle by use of the at least one light source at the side of the vehicle from which the road user approaches the vehicle should the distance between the road user and the vehicle drop below a first threshold distance.

Abstract: A method for adjusting a motor vehicle seat includes receiving pressure signals from pressure sensors disposed in a grid network on outside surfaces of edge bladders of the seat. The method further includes raising or lowering a fluid pressure within the edge bladders using the pressure signals, including lowering of the bladder pressure on the door side on recognizing an entry or exit situation only if a load-related pressure rise in bladders on the door side has occurred.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a vehicle seat, wherein settings of parts of the vehicle seat are dynamically adjusted depending on person-related parameters of the person seated on the seat, to make the seated position of the person as favorable as possible under biomechanical aspects.

Abstract: An arrangement of a vehicle seat with a control device and an input device is made available, in the seat surface and backrest of which devices are integrated for applying a forceful contact or a climatic effect. The arrangement is suitable in particular for warming a person up before a sports activity or for cooling a person down after a sports activity.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving the safety-relevant wear-comfort of a seatbelt worn by an occupant of a vehicle seat uses at least one sensor to detect the contour and/or position of the seatbelt, at least one actuator system for moving the seatbelt in order to change the contour and/or position, and at least one control module for controlling the actuator system. The control module is operative to control the actuator system automatically as a function of a deviation of the seatbelt contour/position, as detected by the sensor, from a predefined contour/position which reflects correct wear of the seatbelt.

Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle is provided. The method includes the steps of sensing a state parameter, and selecting a seat position for a seat of the vehicle from a plurality of seat positions, in dependence on the state parameter.
