A roof module for a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car, is proposed, the roof module having a roof cladding, which forms an outer visible surface of the roof module, and at least one sensor module having an environment sensor for sensing a vehicle environment during an autonomous or partially autonomous operation of the motor vehicle. A viewing area can be formed in the roof cladding for the environment sensor and the viewing area can be provided with a cleaning element.

Roof module having an environment sensor for autonomous or partially autonomous vehicle operation

A roof module for connection to a motor vehicle having a transparent solid roof portion, which forms a see-through roof area and which is immobile relative to the vehicle body when the roof module is in the installed position, and/or a roof opening system having a mobile lid element, by means of which a roof opening can be opened or closed at will, and a closed roof skin, which forms the see-through roof area and/or is adjacent to the roof opening and forms a roof cover outside of the see-through roof area and/or the roof opening. At least one sensor module can be provided having at least one environment sensor for detecting a vehicle environment and is disposed outside of the see-through roof area and/or the roof opening and is covered by the roof skin.

Roof module for a motor vehicle comprising a roof skin forming a roof cover

A roof module for a motor vehicle may have a roof skin, a roof frame on a vehicle body and have at least one transverse frame part extending in the transverse roof direction and a longitudinal frame part extending in the longitudinal roof direction on either side of a longitudinal center roof plane, and a roof opening system having a lid element configured to be displaced on guide rails, which are part of the longitudinal frame parts of the roof frame, in the longitudinal roof direction relative to the roof frame, and/or a solid roof element having a transparent see-through portion and being rigidly connected to the roof frame, having a sensor system comprising at least one sensor module which has at least one environmental sensor and is located outside of the roof opening and/or outside of the transparent see-through portions and is covered by a cover element.

Roof module with sensor system for a motor vehicle which travels autonomously or partially autonomously, comprising a roof opening system and/or a fixed roof element

A vehicle pane is disclosed which may have a film arranged on the pane inner side, with a lighting device, which is coupled to the film and which can radiate light into a lighting layer of the film, and with a screen-like cover covering the lighting device, wherein according to the invention the cover forms a fixed connection between a film portion of the film arranged further towards the center of the pane relative to the lighting device and a frame arranged further towards the outer edge of the pane relative to the lighting device or arranged along the edge of the pane.

Vehicle pane with a covered lighting device

A cover for a vehicle roof, which may have a pane, an anti-splinter layer arranged on the inside face of the pane, and a lighting device having a luminous layer, wherein the luminous and anti-splinter layer forms both the anti-splinter layer and the luminous layer in this one layer and in particular the lighting device contains at least one luminous unit, which is designed to radiate light into the luminous and anti-splinter layer at a lateral edge region of the luminous and anti-splinter layer.

Cover of a vehicle roof having a lighting device

A shading arrangement of a transparent roof section of a passenger car, having a flat shading element displaceable between a shading position and an uncovering position and having a lower side facing towards a vehicle interior and an upper side facing towards a vehicle environment. An indirect illuminating device can be provided which illuminates the shading element from the upper side and/or the lower side. The shading element can have a lighting effect material that interacts with the illuminating device.
