Active surroundings sensors emit rays actively. Back-scattering these rays enables the detection of surrounding objects and measurement of range and position. The specific kind of function of the current automotive surrounding sensors are illustrated in the course of this paper. The basics of processing and concepts for sensor data fusion are presented. Some of the non-functional criteria are discussed at the end. They are prerequisites for a successful equipment in automobiles.
