What is claimed is: 1. A system for monitoring surroundings of a vehicle, comprising: at least two optical sensors configured to detect characteristics of the surroundings of the vehicle, the sensors configured to operate in a wide-angle range, wherein each optical sensor includes a sensor lens system having at least one lens that detects characteristics of the surroundings of the vehicle; an arrangement for producing light in the infrared spectral range, the light being emitted to the surroundings of the vehicle via the at least one lens of the sensor lens system of each optical sensor; an arrangement for processing the detected characteristics and delivering spatial information based on the detected characteristics; and an imager chip which is sensitive in a near infrared spectral range; wherein at least one of the optical sensors includes one of a parabolic lens system or a parabolic mirror lens system for detecting a visual angle of 360��, the one of the parabolic lens system or the parabolic mirror lens system produces an approximately annular image on the imager chip in an illuminated region of the imager chip and a remaining region of the imager chip on which the approximately annular image is not formed is used for evaluation logic. 2. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein at least one of the sensors includes a fisheye lens system. 3. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein the sensors act as a pair of stereo cameras. 4. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising: additional sensors to detect additional characteristics of the surroundings, the additional sensors configured to supply the additional characteristics to the arrangement for processing the detected additional characteristics. 5. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising: additional optical sensors. 6. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the arrangement for processing the detected characteristics includes a controller. 7. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the arrangement for processing the detected characteristics is configured to deliver the spatial information to a driver information system. 8. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the arrangement for processing the detected characteristics is configured to deliver the spatial information to an actuator system. 9. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the sensors are mounted on a roof of the vehicle. 10. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the sensors have an unobstructed visual field in a side region of the vehicle. 11. A method for monitoring surroundings of a vehicle, comprising: optically detecting characteristics of the surroundings using at least two sensors and an imager chip which is sensitive in a near infrared spectral range, the sensors operating in a wide-angle range, wherein each sensor includes a sensor lens system having at least one lens that detects characteristics of the surroundings of the vehicle, at least one of the sensors includes one of a parabolic lens system or a parabolic mirror lens system for detecting a visual angle of 360��, the one of the parabolic lens system or the parabolic mirror lens system produces an approximately annular image on the imager chip in an illuminated region of the imager chip, and a remaining region of the imager chip on which the approximately annular image is not formed is used for evaluation logic; producing light in an infrared spectral range; emitting the light to the surroundings of the vehicle via the at least one lens of the sensor lens system of each sensor; processing the detected characteristics using a processor; and delivering spatial information based on the detected characteristics. 12. The method as recited in claim 11, wherein at least one of the sensors has a fisheye lens system. 13. The method as recited in claim 11, further comprising: providing additional sensors for detecting additional characteristics of the surroundings; and supplying the additional characteristics to the processor. 14. The method as recited in claim 11, further comprising: providing additional optical sensors. 15. The method as recited in claim 11, wherein the processor is a controller. 16. The method as recited in claim 11, further comprising: outputting the processed, detected characteristics to a driver information system. 17. The method as recited in claim 11, further comprising: outputting the processed, detected characteristics to an actuator system. 18. A method as recited in claim 11, wherein the sensors act as a pair of stereo cameras.
