Abstract
A sensor system for sensing the environment of a motor vehicle having has an evaluation unit, wherein a grid-based environmental model is calculated and at least one discrete value of environmental data is assigned to each grid cell. Discretization is carried out by comparing the environmental data with at least one threshold value. At least one discrete value of the grid is preferably transmitted via a data transmission system to an evaluation or control unit in the vehicle.

A method for a sensor system for sensing the environment of a motor vehicle having an evaluation or control unit, wherein the method comprises:
- calculating a grid-based environmental model wherein at least one respective discrete value of environmental data is assigned respectively to each grid cell of a grid of the model,
- a discretizing the values by comparing the environmental data with at least one threshold value, and
- transmitting at least one discrete value of the grid via a data transmission system to the evaluation or control unit in the vehicle.
