The present disclosure relates to corner-mounted sensor modules for vehicles containing a multitude of sensor systems based on different types of sensors. In particular, the disclosure relates to a vehicle comprising a first and a second sensor module. The first and a second sensor modules each comprises a rigid structure, one or more first sensors of a first sensor type, one or more second sensors of a second type and an attachment mechanism. A sum of the field of views of the first and second sensor modules is at least 540 degrees. Furthermore, one of the sensor modules is arranged at a front corner of the vehicle 1 and the other sensor module is arranged at a rear corner at the opposite side of the vehicle 1 such that a composed field of view of the two sensor modules covers 360 degrees in relation to a reference point at the vehicle 1.
