  • Publication number: 20250108798
    Abstract: A driver assistance device for assistance in performing a return driving maneuver of a motor vehicle based on a recorded outward driving maneuver is configured to detect that the motor vehicle has deviated from the driving trajectory of the return driving maneuver and is now arranged at a surrounding position in the surroundings of the driving trajectory of the return driving maneuver. The driver assistance device checks at the surrounding position whether the motor vehicle can be returned in an automated manner on the driving trajectory of the return driving maneuver proceeding from the surrounding position, and outputs an offer for an automated performance of the recorded driving maneuver at the surrounding position if it is ascertained that the motor vehicle can be returned from the surrounding position in an automated manner on the driving trajectory of the return driving maneuver.
