An oil guidance arrangement for a transmission housing () of a vehicle includes at least one annular oil slinger () for collecting radially outward flowing oil. A guide area () for generating a laminar oil flow is closed in sections and is provided on a circumferential area of the oil slinger (). A transmission housing () includes the oil guidance arrangement. The oil slinger () of the oil guidance arrangement is attached to a transmission housing-side centering plate () and surrounds a clutch (). By rotation of the clutch (), oil is guidable radially outward to the guide area () of the oil slinger ().

Oilway arrangement for a transmission housing

Disclosed is a training evaluation device for a vehicle having a first input interface for receiving a recording of a sign given by a road user, and a second input interface for receiving a driver control command corresponding to the sign, wherein the training evaluation device propagates an artificial neural network with the recording of the sign and the driver control command to obtain a vehicle control command in the propagation of the artificial neural network, and adjusts weighting factors such that the vehicle control command matches the driver control command, for the machine learning of a meaning of the sign. A method for training an artificial neural network, a working evaluation device for an automatically operated vehicle, a driver assistance system, and a method for recognizing a meaning of a sign and for indicating a vehicle reaction to a known meaning of this sign are also disclosed.

Communication flow from road user to a vehicle driving an automated manner

A gear unit for a motor vehicle with a main input shaft and an auxiliary input shaft which is connected thereto via a constant gearwheel set step, wherein the constant gearwheel set step can further be connected to the output via a reverse gearwheel set step. At least one synchronized shifting clutch for connecting at least one idler gearwheel of the reverse gearwheel set step to the shaft carrying the idler gearwheel such that the idler gearwheel is fixed with respect to rotation relative to the shaft. The invention is further directed to a motor vehicle including such gear unit.
