An ultrasonic system of a vehicle. The ultrasonic system includes: at least one ultrasonic sensor for ascertaining a distance of objects from the vehicle by comparing an emitted signal and a reflected echo, and a calculation apparatus for evaluating a measured signal of the ultrasonic sensor. The calculation apparatus is configured to determine a variance of a ground echo distribution within a roadway portion on which the vehicle is moving, and to ascertain the condition of the roadway portion on the basis of at least one predefined classifier that associates individual values of the variance with a roadway condition.

The present invention relates to an inductive energy transfer system and a method for the diagnosis of a foreign object detection of an inductive energy transfer system. For this purpose, a defined fault is introduced into the region to-be-monitored between primary coil and secondary coil of the inductive energy transfer system, and the response of the foreign object detection to said defined fault is then evaluated.
