Method for monitoring the supply of power to a motor vehicle having an automated driving function

A method for monitoring the supply of power to a motor vehicle having an automated driving function, including different operating modes for bringing the motor vehicle to a dead stop, at least one energy store of the motor vehicle powering at least one load circuit not needed for each of the operating mode and at least one load circuit needed for the operating mode, the method comprising the following steps:

• assigning each operating mode of the operating modes, at least one corresponding load profile, which is a function of the load circuit needed for the operating mode and normally occurs during the operating mode;
• predicting, for each operating mode of the operating modes, at least one characteristic quantity of the energy store as a function of the corresponding load profile, and enabling the corresponding operating mode and/or the automated driving function, as a function of the predicted characteristic quantity of the energy store;
• wherein the predicted characteristic quantity is ascertained as a function of a base load and/or a switching-off potential of the load circuit not needed for the operating mode.
