Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for developing a vehicle function to be executed by means of hardware of a motor vehicle. The method may comprise: identifying a vehicle function to be developed; creating a design for the vehicle function; carrying out a first permissibility check on the design for the vehicle function; approving the design for the vehicle function if first permissibility criteria are met; transmitting the design for the vehicle function; carrying out a second permissibility check on the design for the vehicle function; approving the design for the vehicle function if second permissibility criteria are met; transmitting the design for the vehicle function to the motor vehicle; and implementing the vehicle function in the motor vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for predicting a future driving situation of a foreign object, in particular a foreign vehicle, participating in road traffic, in which at least one first item of information is sensed which corresponds to at least one sensed first foreign object (3) participating in road traffic, and in which the first foreign object (3) is assigned to an object class on the basis of the first item of information.

Abstract: A method for operating an autonomously operable motor vehicle comprising: receiving location data relating to a planned location of a motor vehicle; determining whether the motor vehicle is authorized to approach the planned location according to the location data by using at least one of the following: a) personal data about at least one person using the motor vehicle; b) a number of persons using the motor vehicle; c) load data about a load that is being or is to be transported by the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A method for operating a driver assistance system of the transportation vehicle to assist a driver while the transportation vehicle is travelling. A virtual transportation vehicle is displayed to the driver of the transportation vehicle on at least one display element wherein the virtual transportation vehicle is varied in respect of its size and/or position and/or its appearance on the display element while the virtual transportation vehicle is displayed on the display element. A transportation vehicle having a driver assistance system.

Abstract: A mode of transportation, a device, and a method for informing a user on approaching a destination which includes predefining the destination for the user requesting an identification of a person present at the destination, comparing the identification with associated person-related data and, in response to the result of the comparison, outputting a note to the user with respect to the person.

Abstract: The method relates to an operating method for a semi-automatic park-steer assist system and to a semi-automatic park-steer assist system of a motor vehicle for aiding in an alignment of the motor vehicle in a parking space, including a device for detecting an activation signal; a device for determining a change direction in which an alignment of the motor vehicle is to be changed; a device for detecting a set drive direction; and a control unit which controls at least one actuator in an active state of the park-steer assist system such that steerable wheels of the motor vehicle are turned in the change direction when the set drive direction is forward, and the steerable wheels are maximally turned counter to the change direction when the set drive direction is reverse.

Abstract: A park-steering assistance system and method for operating a park-steering assistance system includes a switch-on and switch-off logic, which is provided to activate the park-steering assistance system as a function of a signal of a control element and to deactivate the park-steering assistance system as a function of a velocity value of the motor vehicle and as a function of a specified first velocity threshold value, a specified second velocity threshold value existing, which is lower than the first velocity threshold value, and the switch-on and switch-off logic being arranged to switch the park-steering assistance system from the activated state to a temporarily deactivated state or from the temporarily deactivated state to the activated state as a function of a comparison of the variables of the velocity value and the second velocity threshold value.

Abstract: A communications device is for transmitting acoustic signals in a motor vehicle. The communications device includes at least two transmitters and at least two receivers for transmitting and emitting acoustic signals. One transmitter and one receiver are each allocated to a spatial position. The device further includes a control unit for activating or deactivating at least the transmitters. The control unit is associated with at least one actuator element by which at least one transmitter may be selectively deactivated irrespective of a prevailing signal level.

Abstract: A method for operating a park-steering assistance system and a park-steering assistance system provide an improved switch-on and switch-off logic.

Abstract: The method relates to an operating method for a semi-automatic park-steer assist system (30) and to a semi-automatic park-steer assist system (30) of a motor vehicle (1) for aiding in an alignment of the motor vehicle (1) in a parking space (2), including means (42) for detecting an activation signal; means (47) for determining a change direction in which an alignment of the motor vehicle (1) is to be changed; means (50) for detecting a set drive direction; and a control unit (40) which controls at least one actuator (38) in an active state of the park-steer assist system (30) in such a way that steerable wheels (15) of the motor vehicle (1) are turned in the change direction when the set drive direction is forward, and the steerable wheels (15) are maximally turned counter to the change direction when the set drive direction is reverse.
