Abstract
A driver assistance system () of a vehicle () includes a laser scanner () with a phase-controlled laser (), a sensor unit () and an evaluation unit (). The phase-controlled laser is configured to produce a controllable laser beam by beam forming and to direct the laser beam into an environment outside of the vehicle. The sensor unit () is configured to detect a retroreflection caused by the laser beam. The evaluation unit () produces driver assistance data by evaluating the detected retroreflection.
