Roof module for forming a vehicle roof and motor vehicle with a roof module

A roof module for forming a vehicle roof on a motor vehicle, the roof module comprising at least one environment sensor configured to detect a vehicle environment, at least one panoramic roof element and/or one sunroof and/or one sliding roof, and a kinematic mechanism configured to move the at least one environment sensor from at least one retracted position, in which the at least one environment sensor is at least partially located below the roof skin, into at least one deployed position, in which the environment sensor projects above the roof skin, wherein the kinematic mechanism is configured to move the at least one environment sensor into the at least one retracted position in such a manner that the at least one environment sensor at least partially projects into the at least one panoramic roof element and/or the at least one sunroof and/or the at least one sliding roof and/or to move the at least one environment sensor into the at least one deployed position in such a manner that the at least one environment sensor at least partially projects over an outer edge area of the roof module.
