Abstract
A method controls a first motor vehicle. The method includes the steps of: i) receiving status data of a roadway section and a geographic position of the roadway section by the first motor vehicle, ii) sensing, as a function of the received status data, the roadway section by a surroundings sensor of the first motor vehicle, and in response thereto, iii) aligning the surroundings sensor with a particular roadway feature of the roadway section, and/or iv) adapting an evaluation of data of the surroundings sensor, and/or v) updating the status data and transmitting the updated status data.
Claims13
A method for controlling a first motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving status data of a roadway section and a geographic position of the roadway section by the first motor vehicle,
- sensing, as a function of the received status data, the roadway section by a surroundings sensor of the first motor vehicle, and in response thereto:
- (i) aligning the surroundings sensor with a particular roadway feature of the roadway section, and/or
- (ii) adapting an evaluation of data of the surroundings sensor, and/or
- (iii) updating the status data and transmitting the updated status data.
A driver assistance system for controlling a first motor vehicle, comprising:
- a data input;
- an evaluation unit;
- and
- a data output,
- wherein the data input is configured for the reception of status data of a roadway section and a geographic position of the roadway section by a first motor vehicle,
- wherein the evaluation unit is configured to sense, as a function of the received status data, the roadway section via a surroundings sensor of the first motor vehicle, and
- wherein the data output is configured, in response thereto, to align the surroundings sensor with a particular roadway feature, to adapt an evaluation of the surroundings sensor and/or to update the status data and to transmit the updated status data.
A system, comprising:
- a driver assistance system that controls a first motor vehicle, wherein
- a driver assistance system is operatively configured to execute processing to:
- receive status data of a roadway section and a geographic position of the roadway section by the first motor vehicle,
- sense, as a function of the received status data, the roadway section by a surroundings sensor of the first motor vehicle, and in response thereto:
- (i) align the surroundings sensor with a particular roadway feature of the roadway section, and/or
- (ii) adapt an evaluation of data of the surroundings sensor, and/or
- (iii) update the status data and transmitting the updated status data.
