Abstract
A motor vehicle rear-end for a motor vehicle includes a spoiler configured to influence aerodynamics of the motor vehicle, an actuator configured to move the spoiler between a retracted position of rest and an extended position of use, and a rear-mounted camera configured to monitor an observation area to a rear of the motor vehicle. The observation area comprises the spoiler when in the retracted position of rest and the spoiler when in the extended position of use. The motor vehicle rear end further includes an image evaluation unit connected to the rear-mounted camera and configured to detect the spoiler in the position of rest and/or in the position of use. The image evaluation unit is coupled to the activation actuator system in such a way that when the spoiler is detected in the position of rest and/or in the position of use, the actuator can be stopped.
