Abstract
A 3-D lidar sensor, in particular, for motor vehicles, includes a laser beam source, an optical receiver and a scanning system for deflecting a laser beam generated by the laser beam source in two scanning directions perpendicular to each other; to increase the functionality, a further detection device for deviations from normal operation being provided in the 3-D lidar sensor. In addition, a corresponding method for operating the 3-D lidar sensor is provided.

A 3-D lidar sensor, comprising:
- a laser beam source;
- an optical receiver and a scanning system for deflecting a laser beam generated by the laser beam source in two scanning directions perpendicular to each other;
- and
- a further detection device for deviations from normal operation.
A method for operating a 3-D lidar sensor having a laser beam source, the method comprising:
- deflecting, via an optical receiver and a scanning system of the 3_d lidar sensor for deflecting a laser beam generated by the laser beam source, in two scanning directions perpendicular to each other;
- and
- ascertaining, via a further detection device of the 3-D lidar sensor, which is for deviations from normal operation, deviations from normal operation of the 3-D lidar sensor.
