Abstract: A method to control an automatic driving process of a vehicle is provided. An authentication information is received via a first radio interface in the vehicle and a control information is received for the automatic driving process via a second radio interface different from the first radio interface in the vehicle. The automatic driving process is controlled as a function of the authentication information and the control information.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of detecting a relative position of a mobile terminal device with respect to a vehicle. It is provided for the method to include the following steps: generating reference measurement values relating to a predefined relative position of a calibration device with respect to a calibration vehicle, generating position measurement values which relate to the current relative position of the mobile terminal device with respect to the vehicle, evaluating the reference measurement values and the position measurement values for detecting the current relative position of the mobile terminal device with respect to the vehicle, and storing the generated reference measurement values in a database, wherein the database is a database outside the vehicle which the vehicle may access by means of a communication connection.

Abstract: A method for passive access control including a mobile device serving as key and an interaction unit, the mobile device and the interaction unit having in each case at least one data communication facility for exchanging authorization information. Operations are provided for carrying out an electronic distance measurement between the mobile device and the interaction unit and for permitting an access and/or an interaction only if the distance of the mobile device from the interaction unit is within a permitted distance.
