Abstract: A motor vehicle has a driver assistance device which is designed to guide the motor vehicle independently and can be switched between several assistance modes which differ in a degree of autonomy of the driver assistance device when driving the motor vehicle. An operating device having several operating elements allows the user to adjust respective driving parameters, which determine a driving behavior of the driver assistance device, in at least one of the assistance modes as a function of an activation of the operating elements. The operating device is designed in the form of a palm rest. Some of the operating elements are arranged on a support body. The support body is mounted such that it can be manually rotated about a vertical axis, and the driver assistance device is designed to adjust the currently active assistance mode as a function of a rotary position of the support body.

Abstract: A driver assistance device in a motor vehicle can completely or partially independently guide the motor vehicle. The driver assistance device has an operating device having a grip element which is arranged on a center console of the motor vehicle and on which a plurality of operating elements are arranged. To improve clarity, the grip element can be moved with respect to an interior trim of the motor vehicle by an actuator of the operating device. A control device of the driver assistance device is designed to adjust a position of the grip element with respect to the interior trim by controlling the actuator on the basis of the currently active assistance mode.

Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a plurality of actuators for carrying out movements of the chassis, wherein the motor vehicle includes a control device for determining orientation information describing an orientation of the chassis to be assumed with regard to at least one target setting, wherein the control device is designed to control the actuators on the basis of the orientation information in such a way that the actuators carry out in a combined manner pitching, rolling and vertical movements of the chassis in order to orient the chassis corresponding to the orientation described by the orientation information.

Abstract: A driver assistance system for the fully automated driving of a motor vehicle has a control device for generating control signals for actuators of the motor vehicle, which are designed to drive the motor vehicle. The control device forms a slave of a master-slave arrangement. A user interface of the device forms the master. The user interface receives as an input from a user, a selection of a driving maneuver that is to be performed by the slave and/or a driving parameter value for a driving parameter with respect to a driving maneuver which is currently carried out by the slave. After completion of the input, the user interface activates the slave as a function of the input. The user interface has a representation of the motor vehicle, arranged in a field, wherein an edge represents a maximum permissible change in the driving parameter value.

Abstract: A motor vehicle has a driver assistance device to guide the motor vehicle in an automated manner during travel. The driver assistance device can be switched between a plurality of assistance modes. First, second and third control device differ in the actions the control. The first operating device directly drives the motor vehicle by the driver of the motor vehicle in a manual mode. The second operating device adjusts driving parameters for a partially automated assistance mode, and the third operating device serves as a user interface for the fully automated assistance mode. In a fully automated assistance mode, the driver assistance device provides independent lateral guidance and controls a wheel steering angle. In this case, an actuator adjusts a rotary position of the steering wheel to follow the wheel steering angle set by the driver assistance device.

Abstract: To achieve a general improvement in the driving stability of a motor vehicle, it is proposed to control the driving stability of the motor vehicle based on a continuously determined environment model, wherein the environment model is used for predictive adaptation of existing vehicle dynamics control systems.

Abstract: The motor vehicle according to the invention comprises a driver assistance device, which is designed to drive the motor vehicle independently during a journey of the motor vehicle and which in this case is switchable between a plurality of assistance modes. The motor vehicle furthermore comprises a first, a second and a third operating device (12, 14, 16), which differ from one another in operating actions to be performed for their operation. In the case of the driver assistance device, at least independent transverse driving is provided in a fully automatic assistance mode, at least speed control is provided in a partly automatic assistance mode and no driving of the motor vehicle at all is provided by the driver assistance device in a manual assistance mode.
