Abstract
A vehicle guidance system for a motor vehicle is configured to determine a complexity indicator in relation to the complexity of a driving situation of the motor vehicle and to determine one or more trigger conditions as a function of the complexity indicator. The vehicle guidance system is further configured to cause an automated emergency stop of the motor vehicle if one or more trigger conditions occur.
Claims17
A system for a motor vehicle, the system comprising:
- a vehicle guidance system operatively configured to:
- ascertain a complexity indicator with respect to a complexity of a driving situation of the motor vehicle for a driver of the motor vehicle based on an item of information with respect to one or more activated driver-assistance functions of the motor vehicle;
- determine one or more triggering conditions for an automated emergency stop of the motor vehicle as a function of the complexity indicator, the one or more triggering conditions being based on a physical condition and/or behavior of the driver;
- and
- bring about the automated emergency stop of the motor vehicle when one or more triggering conditions occur.
A method for controlling an emergency-stop assistance function of a motor vehicle, which has been configured to bring about an automated emergency stop of the motor vehicle when one or more triggering conditions occur, the method comprising:
- ascertaining a complexity indicator with respect to a complexity of a driving situation of the motor vehicle for a driver of the motor vehicle based on an item of information with respect to one or more activated driver-assistance functions of the motor vehicle;
- and
- determining the one or more triggering conditions as a function of the complexity indicator, the one or more triggering conditions being based on a physical condition and/or behavior of the driver.
