  • Publication number: 20240075921
    Abstract: A method and a system for the at least partially automated parking of a motor vehicle, wherein a trajectory is provided, the motor vehicle is driven in an at least partially automated manner along the trajectory, and the trajectory is displayed on a display device with an overview map of an environment. Furthermore, by at least one camera, environment regions of the environment are captured as respective image data, at least some of which are saved allocated to the related environment regions, wherein at the time of display of the overview map, all of the image data saved up until this point in time are displayed in corresponding display regions on the overview map.

  • Publication number: 20230264627
    Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle is configured to execute at least one a driving maneuver that can be executed without a driver, wherein, before the driving maneuver is executed by a computing device of the motor vehicle, a check is made to determine that at least one admissibility requirement for the execution of the driving maneuver is met. The execution of an operator action required to start the execution of the driving maneuver, executed by a user of the motor vehicle positioned outside the motor vehicle, is detected, or the absence thereof up to the present time is detected. The execution of the operator action can be detected by a monitoring device connected to the computing device, and/or based on a transmission of data describing the execution of the operator action to a communication device of the motor vehicle connected to the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11511749
    Abstract: To provide stopping assistance, the disclosure relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle, in which a stopping point for the motor vehicle is determined using a sensor device of the motor vehicle. In the method, the motor vehicle determines a need to stop at the stopping point and initiates stopping of the motor vehicle at the stopping point when the need is present. If the need is absent, a control device of the motor vehicle performs a movement of the motor vehicle or issues a message characterizing the absence of the need to a driver of the motor vehicle. The disclosure further relates to a motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20220227355
    Abstract: A motor vehicle has a parking assistance system with an output device which outputs acoustic and/or visual information as an aid when parking in an activated state and which does not output said information in a deactivated state. In a learning mode, the parking assistance system learns exceptions in which either an automatic changeover is carried out between the activated state and the deactivated state as an exception or an automatic changeover is not carried out between the activated state and the deactivated state as an exception, and/or a manual changeover is detected between the activated state and the deactivated state by the parking assistance system.
