A rear-view sensor system for a motor vehicle, comprising
- at least one sensor in the form of at least one of a rear-view camera and a lidar sensor positioned in the motor vehicle interior between a bodywork roof and a rear window;
- and
- a position-changing apparatus which moves the at least one sensor back and forth between a rest position and at least one operating position,
- wherein the at least one sensor is arranged in a recess in the rest position, and is arranged directly behind an upper part of the rear window in the at least one operating position,
- wherein the recess is arranged between the bodywork roof and a headliner at a corner formed by an intersection of the bodywork roof and an upper part of the rear window,
- wherein at least one of the at least one sensor is aligned horizontally in the at least one operating position, and the at least one sensor captures a rear of the vehicle in the field of view, and
- wherein the at least one sensor is on a platform which is configured to move the sensor from the rest position in the recess to the operating position below the recess.
