Abstract

A system for sensing at least one object in the surroundings of a motor vehicle, includes at least one first sensor for classifying the at least one object, the ability of the at least one first sensor to carry out classification depending on the brightness of the at least one object; at least one second sensor for detecting the at least one object; and at least one actuator for increasing the brightness of the at least one object. The system is designed to increase the brightness of the at least one object by the at least one actuator when the at least one second sensor detects the at least one object and the at least one first sensor cannot classify the at least one object.
