Abstract: A method for assigning control instructions in a vehicle includes reading in an occupant gaze datum via an interface to an occupant detection device of the vehicle, the occupant gaze datum representing a gaze of an occupant of the vehicle toward a device of the vehicle which is to be controlled; and assigning a control instruction of a first control device of the vehicle and/or a control instruction of a second control device of the vehicle to the device using the occupant gaze datum, in order to control the device with the first control device or the second control device.

Abstract: A driver information system in a vehicle encompasses a viewing direction recognition unit and an indicating unit for indicating a critical event for the case in which the deviation between the driver's viewing direction and the critical event exceeds a limit value.

Abstract: A driver assistance method for moving a motor vehicle, in particular for avoiding collisions, using at least one first sensor system which provides first items of obstacle information within a first detection zone for notifying the motor vehicle driver of an obstacle while an obstacle is located in the first detection zone, and using at least one second sensor system, which provides second items of obstacle information within a second detection zone which is located at an angle greater than 0° in relation to the first detection zone even if the obstacle is no longer located in the second detection zone. It is provided that the first and second items of obstacle information are combined in such a way that detection errors of the sensor systems are corrected and an updated item of obstacle information is provided. Also described is a driver assistance device, in particular for carrying out the driver assistance method according to the aforementioned embodiments.
