Abstract
A motor vehicle comprising a body defining a passenger compartment, a plurality of wheels; and a sensor designed to detect a parameter associated with a superficial condition of a road surface; the sensor comprises, in turn, an emitter configured to emit a first laser signal towards a road surface; and one or more single-photon avalanche diodes configured to detect a second laser signal corresponding to the reflection of the first laser signal against said road surface.
