Abstract
A method for controlling a motor vehicle having an assistance system includes the steps of guiding the motor vehicle with the aid of the assistance system, determining a position of the motor vehicle, determining that the motor vehicle is approaching a location where operational capability of the assistance system could be restricted, and outputting a warning to a driver of the motor vehicle.
Claims13
1-9. (canceled)
A method for controlling a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- guiding the motor vehicle using an assistance system of the motor vehicle;
- determining a position of the motor vehicle;
- determining that the motor vehicle is approaching a location where operational capability of the assistance system could be restricted;
- and
- responsive to the determination of the approach, outputting a warning to a driver of the motor vehicle.
The method of claim 1, wherein the assistance system is equipped to sense surroundings of the motor vehicle, and the operational capability includes ability to sense.
The method of claim 1, wherein the assistance system is equipped to aid in a control of a longitudinal or lateral motion of the motor vehicle, and the operational capability includes an ability to influence the longitudinal or lateral motion of the motor vehicle.
A method for controlling a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a position of the motor vehicle;
- ascertaining a destination;
- and
- determining a route from the current position to the destination by which operational capability of an assistance system of the motor vehicle is maximized.
The method of claim 2, wherein the assistance system is equipped to sense surroundings of the motor vehicle, and the operational capability includes ability to sense.
The method of claim 2, wherein the assistance system is equipped to aid in a control of a longitudinal or lateral motion of the motor vehicle, and the operational capability includes an ability to influence the longitudinal or lateral motion of the motor vehicle.
The method of claim 2, wherein the determination of the route is determined so that the route minimizes at least one of a driving time, an energy consumption, and a trip mileage.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which are stored instructions that are executable by a processor and that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method for controlling a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- guiding the motor vehicle using an assistance system of the motor vehicle;
- determining a position of the motor vehicle;
- determining that the motor vehicle is approaching a location where operational capability of the assistance system could be restricted;
- and
- responsive to the determination of the approach, outputting a warning to a driver of the motor vehicle.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which are stored instructions that are executable by a processor and that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method for controlling a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a position of the motor vehicle;
- ascertaining a destination;
- and
- determining a route from the current position to the destination by which operational capability of an assistance system of the motor vehicle is maximized.
An assistance system comprising:
- a sensor for sensing surroundings of a motor vehicle (105);
- an actuator for influencing a longitudinal or lateral motion of the motor vehicle based on the sensing;
- a positioning device;
- and
- a device configured to determine, based on a position determined by the positioning device, presence of location-specific circumstances that are able to alter a performance of the sensing or of the influencing.
