Abstract: A motor vehicle component with a lighting function includes a laminate component having a first fiber-reinforced composite material and a second fiber-reinforced composite material, the first fiber-reinforced composite material being electrically insulating and the second fiber-reinforced composite material being electrically conductive. The motor vehicle component also includes a light source which is at least partially embedded in the first fiber-reinforced composite material. The light source is electrically conductively connected to the second fiber-reinforced composite material, and the second fiber-reinforced composite material has a light exit region from which light emitted by the light source can exit so that it can be seen from outside the motor vehicle component.

Abstract: A fiber-composite ventilation flap for a vehicle is made of a laminate formed by at least two individual tiers. At least one of the individual tiers has respective unidirectionally oriented fibers, and wherein the at least two individual tiers are arranged in the laminate in such a way that the fibers thereof are oriented at least predominantly differently to one another. The fibers of the at least two individual tiers are oriented differently to one another in such a way that at least one region of the fiber-composite ventilation flap curves about a predefined primary axis under the influence of heat and is thereby in an open state.

Abstract: A capacitive proximity switch has a fiber composite body, which has an electrically non-conductive matrix and a multiplicity of fibers embedded in the matrix. The capacitive proximity switch includes at least one first capacitive proximity sensor, at least one second capacitive proximity sensor and one or more sensor evaluation devices. The first capacitive proximity sensor has at least one sensor electrode, which has at least one electrically conductive fiber, which is embedded in the matrix. The second capacitive proximity sensor has at least one further sensor electrode, which has at least one electrically conductive fiber, which is embedded in the matrix. The sensor electrode of the first capacitive proximity sensor and the further sensor electrode of the second capacitive proximity sensor are each connected to a sensor evaluation apparatus.
