Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a method and device that assists a parking maneuver of a motor vehicle. The method and device to assist a parking maneuver of a motor vehicle, with which the motor vehicle is maneuvered into an intended parking space at least partly, automatically, detects a curb bounded by at least one curb edge located in a vicinity of the motor vehicle. A trajectory is determined along which the motor vehicle can be moved into the intended parking space while carrying out at least one move of the maneuver. The trajectory is modified depending on at least one distance between the at least one curb edge and a tire of the motor vehicle that is expected for the trajectory while carrying out the parking maneuver.

Abstract: A method to assist with control of a vehicle in road traffic is provided. Parameters including a distance, direction and speed of other road users are detected. The parameters are used to determine a strategy for the driver to start an intended control action. A time window is determined that enables the driver to start the intended control action and is displayed in a graphical representation to scale to the driver through a driver-vehicle interface.

Abstract: A method for assisting a parking procedure of a motor vehicle in an available parking space. An electronic parking assistance system (EPAS) is operated to: acquire information related to a parking area having multiple parking spaces arranged adjacent and parallel to one another; generate a virtual map including positions of an available space, two flanking vehicles parked on opposed sides of the available space, and at least one additional vehicle parked alongside one of the two flanking parked vehicles on a side opposite from the available space; and determine a parking position in the available space considering the respective positions of the flanking vehicles and the additional vehicle. A vehicle steering system and/or braking system and/or powertrain is operated by the EPAS to guide the motor vehicle to the parking position.

Abstract: A method of operating a self-driving (autonomous) motor vehicle to transport a passenger who requires supervision. An authorization of a sender to operate the vehicle is checked and, if authorized, the sender provides instructions to a vehicle control unit to designate a destination and one or more authorization criterion that must be met by a recipient in order to unlock the vehicle and take custody of the passenger at the destination. The vehicle travels to the destination autonomously, during which travel the status of the passenger is monitored and transmitted wirelessly to a device in the possession of the sender. At the destination, unlocking of the vehicle is permitted upon confirmation of the authorization criterion by the recipient.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns a control device for the remote control of a motor vehicle including a display device for visualizing the surroundings of the motor vehicle detected by motor vehicle sensors of the motor vehicle, and a motor vehicle symbol in a surrounding area of the motor vehicle. An input device inputs a desired parking position within the detected surrounding area of the motor vehicle by displacement of the motor vehicle symbol that is represented on the display device.

Abstract: A method and a device assist a parking process of a motor vehicle. A number of different parking options are determined that differ from each other regarding the parking space to be accessed during the parking process. A selection capability for the driver to select one of said parking options is provided. The parking process is initiated on the basis of the selection made by the driver.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operation of a motor vehicle with a portable control device. The portable control device is designed to generate control signals to control the motor vehicle. The portable device is also designed to transmit the control signals to the motor vehicle. For authentication, a server generates a token, the token is transmitted to the portable control device, and the token, which is stored temporarily on the portable control device, is transmitted to, and verified by the motor vehicle.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device that assists a maneuvering procedure of a motor vehicle. The device comprises an operator control unit, and is configured to bring about a continuation of the maneuvering procedure only for as long as a predetermined actuation of the operator control unit is performed by an operator who is monitoring the maneuvering procedure. The operator control unit includes a plurality of inertial sensors. A continuation of the maneuvering procedure is brought about on the basis of sensor signals of said inertial sensors.

Abstract: A software package is stored on an electronic data memory of the motor vehicle. A near field communication is established between a local communication apparatus and a mobile apparatus. The software package is at least partially updated responsive to a successful authorization performed over the established near field communication between the local communication apparatus and the mobile apparatus.
