Method for detecting a control situation of a vehicle with an automatic control system

A steering system for a vehicle comprising:

• a steering device;
• a first steering angle sensor on a first part of a steering rod, the first steering angle sensor detecting a first angular acceleration caused by a driver of the vehicle;
• a second steering angle sensor on a second part of the steering rod, the second steering angle sensor detecting a second angular acceleration caused by an automatic control system;
• and
• a control device configured to subdivide a steering torque curve applied to steering of the vehicle into sections in which the steering torque curve steadily rises or falls, detect a first angular acceleration at a beginning of a respective section of the curve by the first steering angle sensor, detect a second angular acceleration at the beginning of the respective section of the curve by the second steering angle sensor, compare the first angular acceleration to the second angular acceleration, and assign a designation of a driver or an automatic control system to a corresponding steering torque curve of the respective section depending on a result of the comparison of the first angular acceleration to the second angular acceleration.
