VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING DAMAGE TO A VEHICLE

A vehicle designed for an automated driving operation may have a ventilation device for ventilating a vehicle interior. A control unit and at least one pressure sensor assembly may be provided. The control unit may be designed to activate the ventilation device and to determine a setpoint pressure value of the air pressure within the vehicle interior while the vehicle interior is closed, to infer damage to a vehicle shell surrounding the vehicle interior. Further, the control unit may block the automated driving operation if it is inferred that there is damage to the vehicle shell. Methods for detecting damage to the vehicle and for operating a vehicle are also provided. A device for carrying out a method for detecting damage to a vehicle and/or for carrying out a method for operating a vehicle to a computer program and to a machine-readable storage medium are also provided.
