  • Patent number: 11999365
    Abstract: A method for carrying out a start-up process of an at least semi-automated vehicle. The method includes: recognizing at least one unsuccessful start-up process using a first set of drive parameters; reporting the unsuccessful start-up process to a control system; receiving changed driving-related boundary conditions from the control system; ascertaining at least one changed drive parameter from the changed driving-related boundary conditions; and repeating the start-up process at least once, using the at least one changed drive parameter.
    Type: Grant

  • 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.
