Abstract
A method for operating a motor vehicle, wherein input data concerning the motor vehicle and/or surroundings and/or a user of the motor vehicle are ascertained, wherein at least one trigger condition dependent on the input data is evaluated, wherein, in the event of the respective trigger condition being met, an indication of an activatable vehicle function (28, 32, 44, 51) associated with the respective trigger condition is output to the user, following which, after detection of a predefined control action performed by the user, this vehicle function is activated immediately or after an additional condition has been met.
Claims12
A method for operating a motor vehicle comprising:
- determining input data, wherein the input data relates to the motor vehicle, an environment of the motor vehicle, and/or a user of the motor vehicle;
- determining if a trigger condition is fulfilled, the determining including evaluating at least one trigger condition based on the input data;
- outputting a notification when the trigger condition is fulfilled, wherein the notification is assigned to the trigger condition;
- detecting a pre-specified operating action;
- based on detecting the pre-specified operating action, activating a vehicle function, wherein the vehicle function is activated at least immediately or after an additional condition is met, and wherein, if the additional condition is not met, the vehicle function is activated temporarily beginning with the pre-specified operating action being detected and ending upon a further additional condition being met;
- and
- automatically guiding the motor vehicle based on the activated vehicle function.
A motor vehicle comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- determine input data, wherein the input data relates to the motor vehicle, an environment of the motor vehicle, and/or a user of the motor vehicle;
- determine if a trigger condition is fulfilled, the determining including evaluating at least one trigger condition based on the input data;
- output a notification when the trigger condition is fulfilled, wherein the notification is assigned to the trigger condition;
- detect a pre-specified operating action;
- based on detecting the pre-specified operating action, activate a vehicle function, wherein the vehicle function is activated at least immediately or after an additional condition is met, and wherein, if the additional condition is not met, the vehicle function is activated temporarily beginning with the pre-specified operating action being detected and ending upon a further additional condition being met;
- and
- automatically guiding the motor vehicle based on the activated vehicle function.
