Sensor Module For Being Mounted on a Panel Component of a Motor Vehicle and Panel Component Comprising Such a Sensor Module

Sensor module for mounting on a motor vehicle panel component having a sensor housing, at least one environment sensor, at least part of which is disposed in the sensor housing, and which is configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals to thus detect a vehicle environment, and a kinematic system having a drive configured to move the sensor housing from a retracted position into at least one deployed position. The kinematic system is configured to move the sensor housing into a first deployed position, which activates the at least one environment sensor to detect the vehicle environment in a portion of its field of view, and to move the sensor housing into a second deployed position, which activates the at least one environment sensor to detect the vehicle environment in its entire field of view.
