APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING A VEHICLE COLLISION, VEHICLE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for preventing a collision, which is provided in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a detection device configured to detect a surroundings of the vehicle and provide this in the form of measurement data;
a transmitting/receiving device configured to transmit the measurement data and receive measurement data from other vehicles;
an evaluation device configured to evaluate the measurement data with a view to an impending collision; and
a control device which has an interface by which means the control device controls the vehicle, via which the other vehicles in a neighborhood of the vehicle can be controlled, and via which the control device can be controlled by a control device of a vehicle in the neighborhood of the vehicle in such a manner that the impending collision is prevented or a degree of severity of the impending collision is reduced.

Abstract
An apparatus for preventing a collision, a motor vehicle comprising the apparatus and a method for preventing a collision are provided. An apparatus includes a detection device configured to detect the surroundings of the vehicle and form measurement data, a transmitting/receiving device to transmit and receive the measurement data from other vehicles, and an evaluation device to evaluate the measurement data with a view to an impending collision. A control device has an interface by which the control device controls the vehicle, via which other vehicles in the neighborhood of the vehicle can be controlled, and via which the control device can be controlled by a control device of a vehicle in the neighborhood of the vehicle in such a manner that the impending collision is prevented or a degree of severity of the impending collision is reduced.
