Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An ADAS sensor system for a vehicle, comprising:
an ADAS sensor subassembly, comprising
at least one vehicle ADAS sensor configured to generate data regarding an environment of the vehicle when mounted thereto, and
a compression module having an input connected to an output of the at least one vehicle ADAS sensor at which the generated data is received, the compression module preprocesses the generated data by being configured to subject the generated data to lossy compression to generate lossy compression sensor data, and

an ADAS sensor data processing subassembly comprising
a decompression module configured to receive and decompress the lossy compression sensor data to generate decompressed lossy sensor data, the decompression module performed by a programmed electronic circuit,
a processing unit configured to process the decompressed lossy sensor data by extracting information relevant to an ADAS/automated driving (AD) function being ascertained from the decompressed lossy sensor data, and outputting the ascertained information relevant to the ADAS/AD function, the processing unit performed by the programmed electronic circuit,

wherein the ADAS sensor system comprises an electronics housing and the ADAS sensor subassembly and the ADAS sensor data processing subassembly are integrated into the electronics housing.
