Abstract
The present disclosure invention relates to a method for the anonymized transmission of sensor data of a vehicle to a vehicle-external receiving unit, to an anonymizing system, and to a receiving unit, the method including the following steps: determining the sensor data at a measurement location at a measurement time, determining a traffic density in an environment of the measurement location, determining an anonymized time and/or an anonymized location, calculating an anonymization probability of the vehicle, which results from the traffic density and the anonymized time and/or location, determining whether the anonymization probability meets a predetermined anonymization condition, and if the anonymization condition is met, transmitting the sensor data to the external receiving unit, the anonymized time being indicated as a measurement time indication and/or the anonymized location being indicated as a measurement location indication.
