Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for the fully automated guidance of a motor vehicle by a vehicle system in a driving situation of at least one driving situation class, wherein the vehicle system has a control device and accesses position data of a position sensor. The method starts with providing a traffic rule database in which traffic rule sets for a plurality of geographic regions are stored in a machine-readable formal language and which can be accessed by the control device, and determining a geographical region currently traveled by the motor vehicle based on the current position data and retrieving a traffic rule set for the currently traveled geographical region from the traffic rule database via the control device.

Abstract: Sensor information is processed in a vehicle by transforming sensor data acquired with at least one sensor of the vehicle from a current environment of the vehicle into a curved coordinate system, by continuously updating the sensor data while the vehicle is moving, and by dynamically adapting the curved coordinate system to a current situation of the vehicle.

Abstract: Motor vehicle with at least one control device, a thermal imaging camera and an image processing device, wherein the image processing device is designed to recognize objects on a thermal image from the thermal imaging camera, wherein the image processing device is designed to ascertain at least one object property of at least one recognized object, particularly of a recognized vehicle, by evaluating the thermal distribution in the thermal image in a region that includes the recognized object, wherein the control device is designed to use the object property for operation of a vehicle system.

Abstract: In a method of autonomous driving a vehicle on a parking area, a movement of a vehicle is controlled by an external stationary control device which is located in or in vicinity of the parking area and capable of steering the vehicle autonomously to or from an assigned parking space. An impending or actual collision with another moving or parked vehicle is detected by at least one sensor of the vehicle; and data generated by the sensor is analyzed by an evaluation unit. In response to the situation at hand, the control device makes a behavioral decision, such as, e.g., triggering an alert signal or maneuvering the vehicle.
