First Claim
Patent Images
1. A sensor system on a motor vehicle and for locating an object in front of the motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least two sensors, each having a locating depth of at least 50 m, wherein;
the at least two sensors are arranged in such a way on both sides of a longitudinal center axis of the motor vehicle that locating angular ranges of the at least two sensors together cover an entire vehicle width as of a first distance, and overlap each other as of a second distance.

Abstract
A sensor system on motor vehicles for locating objects in front of the vehicle, wherein at least two sensors, each having a locating depth of at least 50 m, are arranged in such a way on both sides of longitudinal center axis of the vehicle that their locating angular ranges together cover the entire vehicle width as of a first distance d1, and overlap each other as of a second distance d2.

9. In a system including at least two sensors arranged in such a way on both sides of a longitudinal center axis of a motor vehicle that below a distance, their locating angular ranges form a blind spot between themselves, a method for distance control in the motor vehicle, comprising:
-
when an object that is detected by only one of the at least two sensors leaves the locating angular range of the one of the at least two sensors, determining whether the object has left the corresponding locating angular range and gone into the blind spot; and if the object is determined to have gone into the blind spot, decelerating the motor vehicle until one of the object appears again and the motor vehicle is brought to a standstill. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
