Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for avoidance of a possible collision of an object with a first vehicle door of a stationary vehicle. The method includes, but is not limited to determining at least one first parameter of the vehicle, with the first parameter characterizing the stationary state of the vehicle. In addition, a first outside mirror of the vehicle is displaced from a first position into a second position. The first outside mirror in the second position makes a first dead angle region of the vehicle substantially visible for a first vehicle occupant. The first outside mirror is disposed on the same vehicle side as the first vehicle door. Furthermore, at least one second parameter of the vehicle is determined and the first outside mirror is displaced from the second position into the first position.

16. A method for avoidance of a possible collision of an object with a first vehicle door of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
determining at least a first parameter of the vehicle that characterizes a stationary state of the vehicle; displacing a first outside mirror of the vehicle from a first position into a second position, wherein the first outside mirror in the second position makes a first dead angle region of the vehicle that is substantially visible for a first vehicle occupant, and wherein the first outside mirror is disposed on a side of the vehicle with the first vehicle door; determining a second parameter of the vehicle, and displacing the first outside mirror from the second position into the first position. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. An apparatus for avoidance of a possible collision of an object with a first vehicle door of a vehicle, comprising:
-
a first detector configured to determine at least a first parameter of the vehicle that characterizes a stationary state of the vehicle; a first outside mirror configured to displace from a first position into a second position, wherein the first outside mirror in the second position makes a first dead angle region of the vehicle that is substantially visible for a first vehicle occupant, and wherein the first outside mirror is disposed on a side of the vehicle with the first vehicle door; a second detector configured to determine a second parameter of the vehicle, and a displacement mechanism configured to displace the first outside mirror from the second position into the first position. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)
