Abstract
In a method for calibrating a surroundings sensor for sensory detection of the surroundings of a vehicle, sensor data which are generated with the aid of the surroundings sensor and which correspond to the vehicle surroundings are transmitted to a server situated externally from the vehicle, and the server transmits calibration data generated based on the sensor data and on reference sensor data which correspond to the reference vehicle surroundings associated with the vehicle surroundings to the surroundings sensor. In the case of an unsuccessful sensor calibration, an error signal is transmitted to a control unit which subsequently controls a vehicle component.

16. A method for calibrating a surroundings sensor for sensory detection of surroundings of a vehicle, comprising:
-
transmitting sensor data, which are generated with the aid of the surroundings sensor and which correspond to detected vehicle surroundings, to a first server situated externally from the vehicle; generating, by the server, calibration data based on a comparison of the sensor data with reference sensor data which correspond to reference vehicle surroundings associated with the detected vehicle surroundings; transmitting, by the server, the calibration data to the surroundings sensor; initiating a calibration of the surroundings sensor using the calibration data; and transmitting, in the case of an unsuccessful calibration of the surroundings sensor, an error signal to a control unit which subsequently controls at least one vehicle component. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
