A sensor arrangement for an actuation device of a motor vehicle is disclosed which has a force transfer element and which can be assigned or is assigned in particular to an actuating surface of the actuation device for transferring an actuating force applied to the actuation device, in particular on the actuating surface. The sensor arrangement further has a measuring head arranged in a printed circuit board. The measuring head has a measuring membrane. The measuring membrane has a force sensor element at one end and is assigned to the force transfer element at the other end, in particular abutting the force transfer element.

A pedal unit for controlling a vehicle function is disclosed. The pedal unit includes a tread plate that has a support surface configured to receive an actuating force of a driver's foot. The tread plate is connected to a housing cover that is movable via a small stroke along a vertical direction of the pedal unit. The housing cover is connected to a sensor housing in which at least one sensor arrangement is formed. At least one deflection device is included and designed to deflect a small stroke movement of the movable housing cover extending along a vertical direction of the pedal unit caused by the actuating force into a measuring movement extending along a longitudinal direction of the pedal unit. The at least one sensor arrangement is designed to detect the measuring movement based on the small stroke movement in a contactless manner.

A sensor arrangement for redundant determination of an angle of rotation of a body about an axis of rotation includes at least one circuit carrier, a first sensor device having a first ECU and a second ECU. A magnet of the first sensor device and a coupling device of the second sensor device are each coupled in a rotationally fixed manner to the rotatable body. The first ECU is designed to receive signals caused by the rotational movement of the magnet and to generate at least one first electrical measurement signal which represents the current angle of rotation of the rotatable body. The second ECU is designed to receive signals caused by the rotary movement of the coupling device and to generate at least one redundant second electrical measurement signal which represents the current angle of rotation of the rotatable body.

An optical system, in particular a LiDAR system, is provided, including at least one optical transmitter and at least one optical detector as well as a data processing unit. The optical transmitter is configured to emit a scanning light beam into the surroundings to scan same for surroundings objects. The optical detector is configured to receive a reflected light beam from the surroundings. The optical system is configured to a) detect and differentiate reflected light beams in at least two wavelength ranges and/or b) detect and differentiate reflected light beams having at least two polarization directions. The optical system is configured with the aid of the data processing unit to determine the surface properties of the scanned surroundings objects from the differences between the reflected light beams and the emitted scanning light beams.
