  • Method for maneuvering a motor vehicle with movement of the motor vehicle into a detection position, driver assistance system and motor vehicle
    Patent number: 11001253
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for maneuvering a motor vehicle (1), in which the motor vehicle (1) is manoeuvred within a determined driving tube (15), during the maneuvering a position of at least one object (8, 9) in a surrounding area (7) of the motor vehicle (1) is continuously determined by means of a control unit (3) on the basis of sensor data of at least one sensor (4) of the motor vehicle (1), which sensor (4) has a predetermined detection range (10), and if the at least one object (8, 9) is located outside the detection range (10) of the at least one sensor (4), the position of the at least one object (8, 9) is estimated, wherein a sensing position is determined by means of the control unit (3), and the motor vehicle (1) is moved to the sensing position if the at least one object (8, 9) is located outside the detection range (10), wherein the sensing position is determined in such a way that the estimated position of the at least one object (8, 9) is located within the detection range (10) if the
