Method and device for carrying out an autonomous brake application in a two-wheel motor vehicle

A device for carrying out an autonomous brake application in a two-wheel motor vehicle, the device configured to:

• initiate a driver-independent vehicle deceleration in response to an output of a surroundings sensor system;
• once the vehicle deceleration has been initiated, ascertain a driver readiness variable characterizing a readiness of the driver to control a vehicle deceleration maneuver;
• and
• discontinue a temporal progression of the vehicle deceleration as a function of the driver readiness variable, wherein:
• the driver readiness variable signals a neutral state of the driver, and
• in the neutral state of the driver, the autonomous brake application is carried out with the aid of a first braking force curve that, in comparison to a second braking force curve associated with a planned setpoint and implemented when the driver readiness variable signals that the driver is ready for the vehicle deceleration maneuver, has a lower deceleration and/or a less intense jolt.
