Abstract: Technologies and techniques for delivering an order to an at least semiautonomous motor vehicle, and a motor vehicle. If an ordering function is activated, provider information is obtained from potential providers that offer delivery of an order by means of a mobile delivery system within a predefined area on a determined route from a current position of the motor vehicle to a destination. Coordinates and a time for a meeting of the motor vehicle with the mobile delivery system are determined for each of the potential providers that have been determined using traffic condition and planning criteria, and a corresponding ordering option that can be activated is provided. As soon as the ordering option is activated, the motor vehicle is at least semiautonomously driven to the determined meeting.

The method includes detecting a potential hazard situation for the road user based on sensor data of an environment sensor system of a transportation vehicle; determining hazard information to be transmitted in relation to the hazard situation, wherein the hazard information to be transmitted includes information on a trajectory for the road user; and transmitting the hazard information to the road user by light-based data transmission.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assisting a user of a motor vehicle when driving the motor vehicle. A travel route is provided by a navigation apparatus, and a route actually being driven by the motor vehicle is ascertained. A comparison is made between the actual driving route ascertained and the travel route provided, and if a deviation criterion is met, it is ascertained that the motor vehicle has left the travel route provided. As a function of the ascertained departure from the travel route provided, at least one geo-object from a predefined category of geo-objects is established, the established geo-object is predefined as a geo-object having a user-specific interest and, as a function of the predefined geo-object, the established travel route is changed to an alternative route to the destination with the predefined geo-object as an intermediate destination.

Abstract: An apparatus serves for influencing the separation of a flow 2 from a body 1 immersed in the flow. The apparatus excites a shear layer 11 of the flow 2 at the immersed body 1 by periodic blowing and suction in order to act against further separation of the shear layer 11 from the immersed body 1. For this purpose, the apparatus has at least one passive cavity resistor 46, the hollow cylinder 4 of which has at least one opening 6 leading to the surface 10 of the body 1. The cavity resonator 46 is excited by the flow 2 thus creating compressional vibrations, and the compressional vibrations of the cavity resonator 46 excite the shear layer 11.
