METHOD FOR PROVIDING HEIGHT INFORMATION FOR AN OBJECT IN A SURROUNDING AREA OF A MOTOR VEHICLE ON A COMMUNICATION INTERFACE SENSOR DEVICE, PROCESSING DEVICE AND MOTOR VEHICLE

A method is provided for providing information about an object sensed in a surrounding area of a motor vehicle, in which the surrounding area is sensed using a sensor device of the motor vehicle. Additionally, a piece of information is provided on a communication interface in the motor vehicle. A piece of height information for the object is stored as information in a sensor-device-end control unit and this information is provided on the communication interface connected to the sensor-device-end control unit for the purpose of transmission to and further processing with a further control unit of a processing device that comprises the two control units and that is configured to create a map of the surrounding area.
