7. A vehicle sensor, comprising:
- an upfront sensor having at least one cavity, each cavity having a sensing element therein, the upfront sensor detecting an impact via the sensing element as a function of a deformation of the cavity, each sensing element being one of a pressure sensor or a temperature sensor, the cavity being largely closed so that an adiabatic pressure increases and a temperature increases in response to a deformation of the cavity.

Abstract
A vehicle upfront sensor is described that has a cavity and a sensing element therein. A collision is detected as a function of the deformation of the cavity. The sensing element may be designed as a pressure or temperature sensor, the cavity then being largely closed, so that an adiabatic pressure or temperature increase is measurable.
