Method for controlling a motor vehicle remotely

A device for controlling a motor vehicle remotely, the device comprising a processor, wherein the processor is programmed to:

• receive safety condition signals, which represent at least one safety condition that must be satisfied, so that the motor vehicle may be controlled remotely;
• check whether the at least one safety condition is satisfied;
• generate remote control signals for controlling the motor vehicle remotely, based on a result of the check as to whether the at least one safety condition is satisfied;
• and
• output the generated remote control signals,
• wherein after the outputting of the remote control signals, remote control of the motor vehicle is tested based on the output remote control signals in order to detect a fault, and wherein, in response to the detection of a fault, the remote control is interrupted, or emergency remote control signals for controlling the motor vehicle remotely in an emergency are generated and output,
• wherein emergency plan signals are received, which represent an emergency plan specific to the detected fault, and the emergency remote control signals are generated based on the specific emergency plan,
• wherein it is additionally tested, at regular intervals, if the emergency plan signals were received and/or if the emergency remote control signals were generated, wherein if the emergency plan signals were not received or if the emergency remote control signals were not generated, a reactionary action is carried out.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for controlling a motor vehicle remotely, the computer program, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform the following steps:

• receiving safety condition signals, which represent at least one safety condition that must be satisfied, so that the motor vehicle may be controlled remotely;
• checking whether the at least one safety condition is satisfied;
• generating remote control signals for controlling the motor vehicle remotely, based on a result of the check as to whether the at least one safety condition is satisfied;
• and
• outputting the generated remote control signals,
• wherein after the outputting of the remote control signals, remote control of the motor vehicle is tested based on the output remote control signals in order to detect a fault, and wherein, in response to the detection of a fault, the remote control is interrupted, or emergency remote control signals for controlling the motor vehicle remotely in an emergency are generated and output,
• wherein emergency plan signals are received, which represent an emergency plan specific to the detected fault, and the emergency remote control signals are generated based on the specific emergency plan,
• wherein it is additionally tested, at regular intervals, if the emergency plan signals were received and/or if the emergency remote control signals were generated, wherein if the emergency plan signals were not received or if the emergency remote control signals were not generated, a reactionary action is carried out.
