A device for a motor vehicle includes at least one laser sensor. The laser sensor includes a device configured to sweep a scanning area with at least one laser beam emitted by the laser sensor and a power supply device for the laser sensor. In a method for operating a laser sensor in a scanning area with at least one laser beam, the power of the laser beam emitted by the laser sensor is varied in accordance with its direction of radiation.
