  • Patent number: 12422854
    Abstract: A method for determining a collective maneuver of at least two vehicles includes receiving a state of a first vehicle and a state of at least one further vehicle in an environment of an ego vehicle, and determining a current formation for the first vehicle and the at least one further vehicle on the basis of the received state of the first vehicle and the received state of the at least one further vehicle in the environment of the ego vehicle, the current formation comprising a relative arrangement of the first vehicle and of the at least one further vehicle with respect to a roadway. The method also includes determining a set of collective maneuvers on the basis of the current formation, where each collective maneuver of the set of collective maneuvers comprising a sequence of formations from the current formation to an end formation.

  • Patent number: 12252138
    Abstract: A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle is configured to receive or determine maximum assumptions about a course of a roadway; to determine a maximum left lane boundary and a maximum right lane boundary for a roadway in which the motor vehicle is located according to the maximum assumptions; to detect at least one object which is located between the maximum left lane boundary and the maximum right lane boundary; and to take the at least one object into account in the driver assistance.

  • Publication number: 20240037447
    Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to a device for training a reinforcement learning agent to control an autonomous system, wherein the device is designed to detect the environment of the autonomous system, to detect at least one object in the environment of the autonomous system that can be compared to the autonomous system, to detect a behaviour of the at least one object that can be compared to the autonomous system, and to train the reinforcement learning agent in accordance with the detected behaviour of the at least one object that can be compared to the autonomous system.

  • Patent number: 10077051
    Abstract: A drifting training assistance system is provided for a motor vehicle for learning drifting techniques required in high-performance driving training. The steering and the gas pedal movement, or the combined action thereof, is taken on and/or supported by a drifting assistance system.

  • Patent number: 9371089
    Abstract: A driver assistance system and method of operating same is provided for a non-track-bound. By applying a steering torque to the driver's steering wheel via an electric motor, a direction-oriented steering recommendation is made to the driver. By this steering torque, first, a steering wheel angle in the recommended rotating direction at an angular speed that is greater in its amount is set and subsequently a steering wheel angle is set in the opposite rotating direction at an angular speed that is lower in its amount. Subsequent to the setting of the steering wheel angle having the opposite rotating direction, at a comparatively lower angular speed, a further steering wheel angle can be set, by which the vehicle is changed along a straight course of the road essentially to the orientation held before the making of the direction-oriented steering recommendation.
