Abstract

A vehicle includes a rotatably mounted sensor designed to produce an image of an environment of the vehicle, a control device designed to process data obtained from the sensor, and a ventilation device that is designed for cooling the control device by a rotatably mounted impeller. An axis of rotation of the impeller is oriented orthogonally to a direction of movement of the vehicle and the ventilation device and the sensor are rotationally coupled in such a way that the impeller rotates the sensor around the axis of rotation.
