Abstract: The invention relates to a method for stopping a self-driving vehicle (10), starting with determining an approach of the vehicle (10) to a specified stopping point (83). In addition, at least one moving object (70) is detected within the environment of the vehicle. A projected trajectory (84) of the vehicle (10) and a projected trajectory (85) of the object (70) at a first point in time t1 are determined. Based on the projected trajectory (84) of the vehicle (10), a second point in time t2 is then determined, at which the vehicle (10) arrives at the specified stopping point (83). Based on the position and speed of the object (70) at the second point in time t2 determined on the basis of the projected trajectory (85) of the object (70), a collision probability between the object (70) and a door (15) or a passenger of the vehicle (10) at the specified stopping point (83) at the second point in time t2 is determined.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for safely parking a vehicle, wherein after identifying an emergency situation of the motor vehicle, an emergency stopping position region is selected from a digital map, and the vehicle is parked within the emergency stopping position region by an automatic driving function. The method includes registering the surroundings, determining stationary objects and conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle within the selected emergency stopping position region, checking the conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle and the stationary objects within the emergency stopping position region regarding parking the vehicle in an optimized manner and determining an optimized emergency stopping position within the emergency stopping position region, and parking the vehicle at the optimized emergency stopping position within the emergency stopping position region using the automatic driving function.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing and winding partially oriented polyester multifilament yarns not less than 85% by weight based on the total weight of the multifilament yarn polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and/or polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTMT) that contain between 0.05% by weight and 2.5% by weight based on the total weight of the multifilament yarn of at least one additive polymer extensibility enhancer, which comprises providing a wound yarn package which is stable in long-term storage and insensitive to elevated temperatures during storage and transportation by heat-treating the wound polyester multifilament yarn package at a temperature in the range from >45° C. to 65° C. The present invention further relates to the polyester multifilament yarns obtainable by the process and to their use.
