A method has already been proposed for counteracting kinetosis in an occupant located in an autonomous means of transport, with at least one method step moving a cabin device of the means of transport relative to an environment surrounding the means of transport in at least one at least substantially perpendicular to a direction of motion of the means of transport arranged plane, viewed on a aerial tramway around a virtual suspension point.

Disclosure of the invention

The invention is based on a method for counteracting kinetosis in an occupant located in a means of transport, in particular an autonomous means of transport, wherein in at least one method step a movement of a cabin device of the means of transport relative to an environment surrounding the means of transport in at least one at least substantially perpendicular to a direction of travel of the means of locomotion arranged plane takes place on a swing track around a virtual suspension point.

It is proposed that in at least one method step, in particular while the means of locomotion is cornering, the cabin device is moved in such a way that the virtual suspension point, in particular relative to the means of locomotion, moves on a path that is at least substantially at the level of or above a head area of the Cabin device lies.

The method is preferably provided to counteract kinetosis, in particular when driving on paved roads of the, in particular autonomous, means of locomotion, to counteract at least one acceleration acting on the cabin device and / or the occupants by a movement of the means of locomotion. The movement of the means of locomotion, which causes the acceleration acting on the cabin device and / or the occupant, is preferably at least partially designed as a change in a direction, a speed and / or an acceleration of the means of locomotion, which is achieved in particular by an, in particular autonomous, control of the Means of locomotion, a change in a subsurface, a change, in particular a change in state, of a medium to be traversed during the movement and / or a collision with an external object, such as a further means of locomotion, for example. In particular, kinetosis is a reaction caused by a disruption of the human body's sense of balance to movements that are unfamiliar to the body, which is also known as travel or motion sickness. Kinetosis preferably occurs in occupants who concentrate on an activity that is independent of the environment surrounding the means of locomotion and / or the cabin device, the environment moving as a function of a movement of the means of locomotion relative to the occupant. In particular, kinetosis often occurs in the case of occupants in an autonomous means of transport, since the means of transport is controlled at least temporarily independently of the occupants. Well-known variants of kinetosis are, for example, seasickness, air sickness, space sickness or land sickness. Well-known symptoms of kinetosis include paleness, dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting. “Provided” is to be understood to mean in particular specially set up, specially programmed, specially designed and / or specially equipped. The fact that an object is provided for a specific function should be understood in particular to mean that the object fulfills and / or executes this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

The means of locomotion is designed in particular as a motor vehicle. However, it is also conceivable that the means of locomotion is designed as an airplane, a watercraft, a rail vehicle and / or a spacecraft. The cabin device is designed, for example, as a frame, a capsule, a shell and / or a seat unit. The cabin device particularly preferably comprises at least one seat, a couch and / or a safety belt, which / which is arranged in particular within and / or on the cabin device, in particular an upper side of the cabin device. The seat, the couch and / or the safety belt are / is preferably at least partially enclosed by the cabin device.

“At least substantially perpendicular” is to be understood as meaning, in particular, an alignment of a direction and / or a plane relative to a reference direction and / or a reference plane, the direction and / or the plane and the reference direction and / or the reference plane at an angle of 90 Include ° and the angle has a maximum deviation of in particular less than 8 °, advantageously less than 5 ° and particularly advantageously less than 2 °. Preferably the A plane arranged at least substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement is formed as a sectional plane, in particular through a center point, of the means of movement. The plane which is arranged at least substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement is preferably arranged at least substantially perpendicular to a central axis of the means of movement running at least substantially parallel to the direction of movement and through the center point of the means of movement. “Essentially parallel” is to be understood as meaning, in particular, an alignment of a direction and / or a plane relative to a reference direction and / or a reference plane, the direction and / or plane deviating in particular less than 8 ° from the reference direction and / or reference plane , advantageously less than 5 ° and particularly advantageously less than 2 °. Preferably, the virtual suspension point is a virtual point which corresponds to a suspension point of a theoretical pendulum, in particular arranged at a position of the suspension point of the theoretical pendulum that moves on the aerial tramway of the cabin device. The movement of the cabin device on the aerial tramway preferably takes place by means of a combination of tilting the cabin device relative to a chassis of the means of locomotion and adapting a route of travel, in particular the direction of travel, of the means of locomotion.

The head area is preferably an area, in particular within the means of locomotion, in which a head of the occupant is arranged in an intended receiving position of an occupant of the means of locomotion. In particular, the intended receiving position is designed as a sitting or lying position of the occupant on the cabin device. The head area is preferably arranged on and / or around a headrest of the cabin device and / or part of a seat and / or a bed of the cabin device. The fact that an object, in particular the path of the virtual suspension point, lies “at least substantially above” a body, in particular the head area of the cabin device, is to be understood in particular to mean that the object, in particular the path, is spaced apart in a direction opposite to a perpendicular direction is arranged by a horizontal plane running through a center point of the body, in particular the head region. The cabin device is preferably moved in at least one method step, in particular while the means of locomotion is cornering, such that the virtual suspension point moves relative to the means of locomotion on a path which is arranged at least substantially above the head region and at a distance from the head region. The cabin device is preferably moved in at least one method step, in particular while the vehicle is cornering, such that the virtual suspension point moves relative to the vehicle on a path that is at least substantially above the head area and at least partially outside the vehicle and / or the cabin device lies. It is particularly preferred in at least one method step, in particular while the means of locomotion is cornering, that the cabin device is moved in such a way that the virtual suspension point moves relative to the means of locomotion on a path that is at least substantially above an equilibrium organ of an occupant of the cabin device and in the intended receiving position / or the means of transport is located. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that in at least one method step, in particular while the means of locomotion is cornering, the cabin device is moved in such a way that the virtual suspension point moves relative to the means of locomotion on a path that is at least partially, in particular at least largely or completely, within the Means of locomotion and / or the cabin device lies and runs at the level or above the head area. The virtual suspension point preferably remains in at least one method step, in particular during cornering of the means of locomotion, in the plane arranged at least substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel of the means of locomotion, in particular the sectional plane through the center point of the means of locomotion, viewed at least essentially relative to an environment surrounding the means of locomotion unmoved. Under “at least essentially unmoved” is to be understood in particular that a body moves in at least one direction relative to another body only by a distance that is at most 10%, preferably at most 5% and particularly preferably at most 2%, one along the corresponding maximum extension of the body formed in each direction. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, it is conceivable that the cabin device is moved in such a way that the virtual suspension point moves in at least one method step on a path that at least partially intersects the head area of the cabin device.

For example, when the means of locomotion enters a curve, the cabin device is at least partially moved in a direction that is at least substantially parallel to the transverse acceleration acting on the cabin device and / or an occupant, the cabin device in particular being tilted towards the center of the curve. Preferably, in particular at the same time, the path of travel of the means of transport is adapted in such a way that the means of transport moves away from the center of the curve. The cabin device is preferred by a combination of the movement of the cabin device and the adjustment of the Movement distance moved relative to the environment surrounding the means of transport on an aerial tramway. A distance between the virtual suspension point and the center of the curve, in particular viewed along a vertical axis of the means of locomotion, preferably remains at least essentially the same while driving through the curve. A relative movement of the virtual suspension point and the cabin device and / or the means of locomotion, which in particular effects the path of the virtual suspension point relative to the cabin apparatus and / or the means of locomotion, preferably takes place while driving through the curve.

The embodiment of the method according to the invention makes it possible to achieve an advantageously effective counteraction of kinetosis, in particular at high speeds and / or tight curves of the means of locomotion. High transverse accelerations on the occupant and / or the cabin device can advantageously be effectively counteracted. An advantageously high level of comfort for occupants of the means of locomotion can be achieved. By moving the cabin device by means of a combination of tilting the cabin device relative to a chassis of the means of locomotion and adapting a route of travel, in particular the direction of travel, of the means of locomotion, a space requirement of the means of locomotion can be transverse, in particular at least substantially perpendicular, to the direction of travel, in particular during a Cornering of the means of transport, are advantageously kept low.

Furthermore, it is proposed that in at least one method step, in particular while the means of locomotion is cornering, the cabin device is moved in such a way that the virtual suspension point, viewed along a vertical axis of the means of locomotion, moves on a path that is at least partially outside of a path crossed by the means of locomotion Area lies. The vertical axis of the means of transport is preferably aligned at least substantially perpendicular to the chassis of the means of transport and / or an underbody of the means of transport and / or the cabin device in an undeflected state. In the undeflected state of the cabin device, the virtual suspension point is preferably on the vertical axis of the means of locomotion. The vertical axis is preferably designed as the yaw axis of the means of locomotion. Preferably, the path of the virtual suspension point lies in at least one method step outside the area traveled over by the means of locomotion if a transverse acceleration acting on the cabin device and / or an occupant is maximum and / or exceeds a predefined limit value for the transverse acceleration. The transverse acceleration preferably acts in a direction that is at least substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement and / or at least substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis of the means of transport, in particular during cornering of the means of transport. Particularly preferably, in at least one method step, in particular while the means of transport is cornering, preferably with a high transverse acceleration acting on the cabin device and / or an occupant, the cabin device is moved in such a way that the virtual suspension point, viewed along a vertical axis of the means of transport, moves on a Moved path that is at least partially outside of a lane and / or lane traveled by the means of locomotion. When the means of locomotion is cornering, the transverse acceleration preferably acts in a direction opposite to a change in the direction of travel of the means of locomotion. The predefined limit value is preferably determined and / or calculated in at least one method step, at least depending on an embodiment of the means of transport and / or the cabin device and / or on a position of the head area, in particular by means of a control and / or regulating unit of the means of transport. A “control and / or regulating unit” should be understood to mean, in particular, a unit with at least one control electronics. “Control electronics” should be understood to mean, in particular, a unit with a processor unit and with a memory unit and with an operating program stored in the memory unit. Preferably, in at least one method step, in particular continuously or periodically, the transverse acceleration acting on the cabin device and / or an occupant is calculated by means of the control and / or regulating unit and / or detected by means of a detection unit of the means of locomotion. The embodiment of the method according to the invention can advantageously and effectively counteract high transverse accelerations, in particular at high speeds and / or tight curves of the means of locomotion.

In addition, it is proposed that in at least one method step, in particular while the means of locomotion is cornering, the cabin device is moved in such a way that the virtual suspension point, viewed along a vertical axis of the means of locomotion, moves on a path that has a larger curve radius than a travel route of the Means of locomotion, in particular the cabin device. The route of movement of the means of transport, in particular of the cabin device, preferably extends along a path covered, in particular during cornering, of a center point of the means of transport, especially the cabin device. The design of the method according to the invention enables an advantageously effective counteraction of kinetosis to be achieved.

It is also proposed that, in at least one method step, a distance of the virtual suspension point from the head area, in particular from the cabin device and / or from the means of transport, by means of a control and / or regulating unit as a function of the, in particular future, transverse acceleration acting on the cabin device is adjusted. Preferably, in at least one method step, the distance of the virtual suspension point from the head area, in particular from the cabin device and / or from the means of locomotion, is adjusted by means of a control and / or regulating unit as a function of a, in particular detected, lane parameter. In particular, the lane parameter is at least one property of a lane on which the means of locomotion is moving and / or is intended to move in the future. The lane parameter is preferably a width of the lane, a height of the lane, a surface quality of the lane or the like. It is also conceivable that the lane parameter is designed as a parameter that describes the density of obstacles in the lane. As a result of the configuration of the method according to the invention, a movement of the cabin device can advantageously be adapted to external circumstances, in particular a route of travel. An advantageously safe movement of the cabin device can be made possible, in particular since a collision can be avoided. A counteraction of kinetosis which is advantageously independent of the course of a lane can be achieved.

Furthermore, it is proposed that in at least one method step for moving the cabin device on the aerial tramway by means of a control and / or regulating unit, the cabin device of the means of locomotion via an actuator unit of the means of locomotion as a function of a, in particular future, transverse acceleration acting on the car apparatus relative to a Chassis of the means of locomotion is moved about a tilting axis which is aligned at least substantially parallel to an underbody of the cabin device and below and / or on the underbody of the cabin device. The tilt axis is preferably designed as a virtual axis about which the cabin device can be moved by means of the actuator unit. However, it is also conceivable that the actuator unit comprises a bearing unit which has a physical tilt axis around which the cabin device can be moved. The actuator unit is preferably designed as an active chassis system. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that the actuator unit has at least one actuator element, which is designed, for example, as a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, an electric lifting cylinder, a linear actuator, an electric motor, an electromagnet or the like. The actuator element is preferably arranged on the chassis and / or the cabin device. Preferably, in at least one method step, the actuator unit is controlled and / or regulated by means of the control and / or regulating unit as a function of the transverse acceleration in such a way that the tilting axis moves relative to the cabin device and / or the means of locomotion. In particular, the tilt axis is moved along the underbody of the cabin device. The tilting axis is preferably moved along at least one path that is at least substantially parallel to the underbody of the cabin device. The tilt axis is preferably aligned at least substantially parallel to the direction of movement. The cabin device is preferably moved about the tilting axis as a function of the lane parameter. The cabin device is particularly preferably moved about the tilting axis by means of the control and / or regulating unit via the actuator unit in such a way that a degree of tilting of the cabin device is proportional to a value of the transverse acceleration. The embodiment of the method according to the invention enables an advantageously simple counteraction of kinetosis to be implemented in an occupant. A banked curve emulation can advantageously be made possible for an occupant.

In addition, it is proposed that in at least one method step for a movement of the cabin device about the tilting axis, at least one limit value for a maximum tilt angle of the cabin device relative to the chassis is taken into account, the limit value, in particular by means of the control and / or regulating unit, depending on a , in particular future, travel route of the means of locomotion is determined. The limit value is preferably determined as a function of the lane parameter. The limit value is preferably determined as a function of a curve radius of the future route of travel. For example, the maximum tilt angle of the cabin device is 30 °, preferably 45 ° and particularly preferably 60 °. The embodiment of the method according to the invention makes it possible to achieve an advantageously collision-free movement of the cabin device. An advantageously high level of safety can be made possible, in particular since tilt angles of the cabin device that are dangerous for an occupant can be avoided.

It is also proposed that in at least one method step for moving the cabin device on the aerial tramway by means of a Control and / or regulating unit at least one, in particular future, route of movement of the means of locomotion is adapted as a function of a, in particular future, transverse acceleration acting on the cabin device. The path of movement is preferably adapted in a direction that is at least substantially parallel to the transverse acceleration. Preferably, the adaptation of the route of travel takes place, in particular while the means of locomotion is cornering, by changing the curve radius traversed by the means of locomotion. Particularly preferably, the movement of the cabin device on the aerial tramway takes place by means of a combination of a rotational movement of the cabin device about the tilting axis and a translational movement of the cabin device by adapting the travel distance in a direction that is at least essentially parallel to the transverse acceleration. Particularly preferably, the route of travel is adapted by means of the control and / or regulating unit such that a difference between an adapted route of travel and an original route of travel is proportional to a value of the transverse acceleration. The embodiment of the method according to the invention enables an advantageously simple counteraction of kinetosis to be implemented in an occupant. In particular in combination with a tilting of the cabin device, the need for more space for the means of locomotion to counteract kinetosis, in particular compared to a conventional means of locomotion, can be reduced to at least essentially zero. Particularly when the cabin device is tilted, an advantageously high level of driving stability of the means of locomotion can be ensured. The configuration according to the invention can advantageously prevent the means of locomotion from tipping over when the cabin device is moving.

In addition, a device is proposed for counteracting kinetosis in an occupant located in a means of locomotion, in particular an autonomous means of locomotion, by carrying out a method according to the invention, in particular by means of a control and / or regulating unit of the device, the device having at least one cabin device and at least comprises an actuator unit which is provided to move the cabin device relative to a chassis of the means of locomotion around at least one tilt axis of the cabin device, which is arranged in an at least substantially parallel to an underbody of the cabin device and arranged below the underbody or on the underbody of the Cabin device arranged plane runs. The device is preferably designed as part of the means of locomotion. Particularly preferably, the cabin device has a rounded, in particular at least substantially oval, outer shape at least in a section plane oriented at least substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement, in particular through the center point of the means of movement and / or the cabin device. The outer shape of the cabin device is preferably designed in such a way that a maximum transverse extent of the means of locomotion, which is in particular aligned at least substantially parallel to an underbody of the means of locomotion and / or the tilting axis, is kept low when the cabin device is moved about the tilting axis. A “maximum transverse extent” of a unit, in particular of the means of locomotion, should preferably be understood to mean a longest of the mutually at least substantially parallel transverse extensions of the unit, in particular of the means of locomotion. It is conceivable that the maximum transverse extent of the means of locomotion changes as a result of the movement of the cabin device about the tilting axis as a function of the, in particular future, transverse acceleration. As a result of the movement of the cabin device about the tilting axis, the means of locomotion preferably has an increased maximum transverse extent in the case of a high transverse acceleration compared to a maximum transverse extent in a state free of transverse acceleration. The device preferably comprises at least one detection unit for detecting the, in particular future, transverse acceleration acting on the cabin device and / or the occupants, the, in particular future, travel route, the lane parameter, a distance from a ground and / or an object to the cabin device. The detection unit is preferably provided to detect an approach of an object to the means of transport and / or the cabin device, for example an imminent collision with another means of transport and / or with another object. It is conceivable that the device has at least one communication unit which is provided, in particular wirelessly, to communicate with an external unit. For example, the external unit is designed as a server, as a cloud, as a GPS transmitter, as another means of transportation or the like. The communication unit is preferably provided to receive, for example, a lane parameter, map data, a position of the means of transport and / or of the other means of transport or the like. The communication unit and / or the acquisition unit are / is preferably provided to transmit received and / or acquired data to a control and / or regulating unit, in particular in order to control and / or regulate a movement of the cabin device. Through the embodiment of the device according to the invention, an advantageously effective counteracting of kinetosis in an occupant of the means of locomotion can be made possible. An advantageously compact design of the means of transport can be achieved.

It is further proposed that the device has at least one control and / or regulating unit which is provided to control a movement of the cabin device about the tilting axis via the actuator unit as a function of a, in particular future, transverse acceleration acting on the cabin device and / or to regulate. The control and / or regulating unit is preferably provided to determine and / or calculate the, in particular future, transverse acceleration acting on the cabin device and / or an occupant by means of data recorded by the detection unit and / or by means of data received by the communication unit. The control and / or regulating unit is particularly preferably provided to move the cabin device in at least one direction around the tilting axis that is different from the transverse acceleration, in particular opposite to the transverse acceleration. The control and / or regulating unit is preferably provided to take into account at least one detected and / or received lane parameter for controlling and / or regulating the movement of the cabin device about the tilting axis. The control and / or regulating unit is preferably provided to move the cabin device in such a way that a collision with another means of locomotion, a person and / or another object, such as a road boundary, a house, a tree or the like. to prevent. The control and / or regulating unit is preferably provided to control and / or regulate the movement of the cabin device around the tilting axis in such a way that an impending collision of the cabin device and / or the means of locomotion with an object is detected The centrifugal force acting on the occupants of the cabin device and / or the means of locomotion is as low as possible due to the collision. The configuration of the device according to the invention enables an advantageously effective counteracting of kinetosis in an occupant of the means of locomotion. In particular, by taking into account external influences when moving the cabin device, an advantageously safe device and / or an advantageously safe means of locomotion can be made possible.

In addition, it is proposed that the device have at least one control and / or regulating unit which is provided to adapt at least one, in particular future, path of travel of the means of locomotion as a function of, in particular future, transverse acceleration acting on the cabin device. The control and / or regulating unit is preferably provided to adapt the, in particular future, path of movement in such a way that the means of movement is at least partially moved in a direction that is at least substantially parallel to the transverse acceleration. It is conceivable that the control and / or regulating unit is provided to adapt, in particular, future, the travel route as a function of the, in particular future, transverse acceleration if a value of a, in particular future, detected, determined and / or calculated transverse acceleration is at least one, in particular in the control and / or regulating unit, exceeds the limit value of the transverse acceleration stored. The limit value of the transverse acceleration is preferably dependent on a configuration of the actuator unit and / or the means of locomotion, on a lane parameter and / or on a comfort requirement of an occupant of the means of locomotion. The design of the device according to the invention enables an advantageously effective counteraction of kinetosis in an occupant of the means of locomotion. An advantageously compact design of the device and / or the means of locomotion can be made possible, in particular since a translational movement of the cabin device required to counteract kinetosis can take place independently of an offset of the cabin device and the chassis.

It is further proposed that the device has at least one viewing cover unit which is at least partially arranged on the cabin device and is provided to view the cabin device, the means of transport and / or the means of transport surrounding the vehicle from at least one point within, in particular the head area, of the cabin device At least partially cover the surrounding area. A “viewing cover unit” is to be understood in particular as a unit that is provided to provide at least one viewing area of an occupant located in the cabin device to an environment surrounding the cabin device and / or the means of locomotion in at least one operating state, in particular while the cabin device is moving around To conceal the tilt axis at least partially. The visual cover unit is preferably provided to at least essentially completely screen and / or conceal the surroundings surrounding the cabin device and / or the means of locomotion for the occupant in at least one operating state. The viewing cover unit is preferably at least partially on at least one window and / or a door of the means of transport or the cabin device. The viewing cover unit is preferably arranged at least partially around the occupant, in particular in an operating state in which the occupant is arranged inside the cabin device. It is also conceivable, however, that the viewing cover unit is arranged at least essentially completely around the occupant. For example, the visual cover unit is designed as a roller blind, as a roller shutter, as a pleated blind, as a coated pane or the like, in particular made of intelligent glass. It is also conceivable that the viewing masking unit is designed as glasses, as a virtual reality device and / or as a display, in particular at least partially molded onto a viewing area of an occupant to be covered. The viewing cover unit is preferably formed at least partially from a material whose transparency and / or transparency can be adjusted and / or controlled, in particular by means of at least one electrical and / or electronic signal. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that the viewing cover unit is arranged at least largely separately from the cabin device on an occupant and / or is arranged on the chassis and / or an outer wall, in particular a body, of the means of locomotion. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that the device has at least one output unit, which is provided to output at least one piece of information and / or light in at least one area of the cabin device and / or the means of transport that is at least partially enclosed by the viewing cover unit. The output unit is preferably designed as a projector, a display, an LED lighting system or the like. The output unit is preferably arranged in at least one region of the cabin device which is at least partially enclosed and / or can be covered by the viewing cover unit. It is conceivable that the device has at least one sensor unit which has at least one sensor element designed as a camera. The sensor unit, in particular the sensor element, is preferably provided to detect the environment surrounding the means of locomotion and / or the cabin device. The output unit is preferably provided to output the surroundings detected by means of the sensor unit to the occupant, in particular within the cabin device. It is conceivable that the output unit is provided for the purpose of transferring the detected environment to an inner wall of the cabin device and / or the viewing cover unit, in particular in the operating state of the viewing cover unit in which the viewing cover unit is at least the environment surrounding the cabin device and / or the means of transport for the occupant essentially completely shielded and / or covered to project. In particular, a windowless design of the means of locomotion is also conceivable for a device with an output unit and sensor unit. The inventive design of the device can advantageously and effectively counteract kinetosis, in particular since an environment that moves when the cabin device and / or the means of locomotion moves relative to the occupant and surrounds the means of locomotion and / or the cabin device is achieved by positioning the viewing cover unit can be less perceived by the occupant in a field of vision of the occupant. An occupant can advantageously carry out a large number of activities largely free of kinetics while the vehicle is moving.

It is also proposed that the device has at least one control and / or regulating unit for controlling and / or regulating the viewing cover unit, the viewing covering unit having at least one viewing cover element that can be switched on and off and / or retracted and extended, the control and / or the control unit is provided to control and / or regulate the screen element as a function of the, in particular future, transverse acceleration acting on the cabin device. The visual cover unit is preferably provided to change the transparency of at least one pane unit of the cabin device and / or the means of locomotion depending on the, in particular future, transverse acceleration and / or a movement of the cabin device about the tilting axis. The control and / or regulating unit is preferably provided to adapt at least one parameter of the visual cover unit in such a way that a transparency and / or transparency of the visual cover unit changes, in particular a portion of the occupant's field of vision covered by the visual cover unit being changed. Preferably, the transparency and / or the transparency of the visual cover unit can be adjusted, in particular via an operating unit of the device and / or the means of transport, by an occupant located in the means of transport and / or in the cabin device. It is conceivable that the visual cover unit has more than two operating states, the visual cover unit each having a different transparency for the occupant. The inventive configuration of the device can achieve an advantageously high level of functionality and individuality, in particular since the state of the viewing cover unit, in particular with regard to positioning relative to a field of vision of an occupant and / or with regard to transparency for the occupant, depending on the especially future transverse acceleration is changeable. It can be an advantageously high level of customization the device, in particular the cover unit, are made possible.
