Abstract: A method for adapting a driving behavior of a semi, highly or fully automated vehicle and includes the following steps: receiving passenger compartment data; ascertaining a safety state of at least one vehicle occupant which in particular represents an injury probability of the vehicle occupant in the event of an accident, based on the passenger compartment data; and adapting the driving behavior of the vehicle based on the safety state of the at least one vehicle occupant.

Abstract: A method for limiting an accident risk. The method initially includes a step of identifying, in which an increased accident risk is identified due to a changed situation in the interior of a vehicle and/or a changed traffic situation in the surroundings of the vehicle. The method also includes a step of providing, in which a control signal is provided for activating the vehicle to change a driving style and/or a travel route and/or an interior parameter in response to the identified change of the situation in the of the vehicle and/or traffic situation in the surroundings of the vehicle, in order to limit the accident risk.

Abstract: A method is described for changing a route and/or a driving style in a vehicle as a function of an interior situation. The method includes a step of identifying the interior situation in an interior space of the vehicle, and a step of outputting (510) a control command for controlling a vehicle in order to change the driving style and/or a route of the vehicle in response to the identified interior situation, and/or the outputting of an alarm signal in order to initiate an assumption of the vehicle control by the driver.

Abstract: A device and a method for notifying the driver of a motor vehicle, equipped with an adaptive distance and speed controller, by activating a takeover prompt, informing the driver that the vehicle is coming critically close to a target object. The takeover prompt is activated and deactivated as a function of a fixed minimum distance between the distance- and speed-controlled vehicle and the target object and/or a relative speed-dependent minimum distance between the distance- and speed-controlled vehicle and a target object and/or a maximum vehicle deceleration producible by the distance and speed controller.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for the adaptive cruise control of a motor vehicle along the lines of a distance-constant control and a speed-constant control, respectively, which apparatus includes at least two devices interconnected by a data-exchange device. The first device includes at least one transmitting and receiving unit for detecting objects, which operates according to the radar principle and/or lidar principle, as well as at least one target-object-selection device. The second device includes at least one speed and distance controller, and is connected to the first device by a data-exchange system through which data with respect to two detected objects is transmitted.
