The invention relates to an optical acquisition device () for a motor vehicle (), having a housing () of the optical acquisition device (), in which a light source unit () of the optical acquisition device () is arranged, wherein light beams () can be emitted by means of the light source unit () through a housing part () of the housing () into surroundings () of the motor vehicle (), wherein the optical acquisition device () comprises a checking unit (), by means of which a functional state of the housing () is checkable, and if an actual functional state of the housing () deviating from a reference functional state of the housing () is detected, a control signal can be generated. The invention furthermore relates to a motor vehicle () and a method.

Optical acquisition device for a motor vehicle, wherein the operation of a light source unit is carried out in dependence on a functional state of the housing, method, and motor vehicle

The invention relates to an optical measuring device () having a housing (), in which at least one optical emitter () for emitting at least one emission beam () and at least one optical receiver are arranged, wherein a cover disc () terminates the housing and forms an emission window () and a reception window (), wherein the at least one emission beam () exits from the housing through the emission window (), wherein the receiver receives the emission beam, which is reflected from the surroundings, as a reception beam through the reception window (), and wherein the cover disc () has a heating assembly (), and a corresponding method for producing a cover disc () for the optical measuring device (). To provide an optical measuring device () having a heating assembly (), which does not distort an emission beam as it exits from the housing () of the measuring device () via the cover disc (), the heating assembly () is arranged essentially in the region of the reception window () and the region of the emission window () is left out.

A method and device for automatically switching on and/or off the illumination of a vehicle. Faulty switching is reduced by adapting the threshold value for switching on the illumination by averaging the measured brightness value(s) according to the driving speed and using switching-off conditions which, inter alia, consider the surrounding brightness.
