摘要

The arrangement has an optical detection unit (3) e.g. rear view camera, for detecting and evaluating light signals in a predetermined rearward surrounding area (U), where the optical detection unit is arranged on an outer side of a vehicle (1) in a rear region (1.1) of the vehicle. The detection unit is provided with a light permeable protective covering, where the detection unit detects a light intensity and/or illumination level. The detection unit has an evaluation unit for evaluating and analyzing the light signals with respect to the light intensity and/or illumination level.
