Driving System with Automated Lateral Guidance Which Can be Deactivated by a Steering Intervention, and Method for Deactivating Automated Lateral Guidance

A driving system for automated driving with at least automated lateral guidance for a motor vehicle with a steering wheel comprising:

• an electronic control unit configured to:
• determine the presence of at least one indication that a current or imminent manual steering intervention does not take place inadvertently and is intentional by the driver,
• deactivate the automated lateral guidance as a reaction to a manual steering intervention starting from a driving state with activated automated lateral guidance, wherein
• a necessary steering torque which operates counter to the activated lateral guidance is to be applied by the driver within the context of the manual steering intervention to deactivate the lateral guidance, and
• reduce the necessary steering torque to deactivate the lateral guidance when the at least one indication for the steering intervention is present and less than the necessary steering torque to deactivate the lateral guidance when the at least one indication for an intended steering intervention is not present.

A method for deactivating automated lateral guidance of a driving system for automated driving for a motor vehicle with a steering wheel comprising:

• determining a presence of at least one indication that a current or imminent manual steering intervention does not take place inadvertently and is intended by the driver;
• and
• starting from a driving state with activated lateral guidance, deactivating the automated lateral guidance in response to the manual steering intervention, wherein
• a required steering torque which operates counter to the activated lateral guidance is applied by the driver to deactivate the lateral guidance during the manual steering intervention, and
• the steering torque necessary to deactivate the lateral guidance is lower when the at least one indication is present than when the at least one indication is not present.
