Method for assisting the driver of a motor vehicle in maneuvering the motor vehicle with a trailer, driver assistance system as well as vehicle/trailer combination

A driver assistance system for a vehicle/trailer combination with a motor vehicle and a trailer for assisting a driver of the vehicle/trailer combination in maneuvering the vehicle/trailer combination, the driver assistance system comprising:

• at least one vehicle-side camera and at least one trailer-side camera for capturing image data from an environmental region of the motor vehicle;
• and
• an evaluation device for creating an image of the environmental region depending on the captured image data from the at least one vehicle-side camera and the at least one trailer-side camera;
• and
• a display device for displaying the image depending on a pivot angle between the trailer and the motor vehicle,
• wherein the evaluation device determines a perspective from which the environmental region is displayed in the image,
• wherein determining the perspective comprises:
• determining a first perspective from which the environmental region is displayed in the image when the pivot angle is within a predetermined tolerance range, and
• determining a second perspective from which the environmental region is displayed in the image when the pivot angle is outside of the predetermined tolerance range,
• wherein the evaluation device automatically switches, in response to detecting the pivot angle changing between within the predetermined tolerance range and outside of the predetermined tolerance range, the perspective between the first perspective and the second perspective, and
• wherein the environmental region adjoining to a rear area of the motor vehicle is displayed from a first person perspective as the first perspective, and the environmental region encompassing the motor vehicle and the trailer is displayed from a third person perspective as the second perspective.
