The method includes: detecting a hazardous situation of the vehicle based on at least one situation-dependent driving parameter; providing a defined base action path including at least a first action portion, wherein, within the first action portion, at least a first vehicle-side action that is suitable to bring the vehicle into a safe state is triggered depending on the detected hazardous situation; assessing the detected hazardous situation for the vehicle; adjusting the base action path depending on the assessment of the detected hazardous situation for the vehicle. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for improving safety of a driving assistance system of a vehicle, the method comprising the following steps: detecting a hazardous situation of the vehicle based on at least one situation-dependent driving parameter; providing a defined base action path including at least a first action portion, wherein, within the first action portion, at least a first vehicle-side action that is suitable to bring the vehicle into a safe state is triggered depending on the detected hazardous situation; assessing the detected hazardous situation for the vehicle; and adjusting the base action path depending on the assessment of the detected hazardous situation for the vehicle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least first vehicle-side action includes at least one of the following actions for warning at least one person located in the vehicle: visual warning, haptic warning, acoustic warning, olfactory warning, an automated intervention in a vehicle behavior of the vehicle. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the adjustment of the base action path provides for adjusting a degree of execution of the at least first vehicle-side action. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the adjustment of the base action path takes place when a detected time period for the detected hazardous situation to occur is less than a time period for executing the entire base action path. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the base action path includes at least a second action portion, which follows the first action portion, wherein, within the at least second action portion, at least a second vehicle-side action is triggered depending on the detected hazardous situation. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein the adjustment of the base action path provides that the first and second action portions and/or the first and second vehicle-side actions overlap in time. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein the first and second vehicle-side actions extend across the respective first and second action portions. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein the first and second action portions differ with respect to a response of the driver assistance system when a driver in the vehicle reacts to the at least one first and second vehicle-side action. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein, when adjusting the base action path, individual action portions are specifically excluded from being executed when the exclusion is required to achieve a defined safety state of the vehicle. ### Claim 10 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein the adjustment of the base action path provides for skipping individual vehicle-side actions. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one situation-dependent driving parameter represents at least one of the following hazardous situations for the vehicle that require an adjustment of the base action path: malfunction of the driving assistance system of the vehicle, recognizing a traffic situation for the vehicle that can no longer be safely managed by the driving assistance system of the vehicle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the vehicle is an at least partially autonomously driving vehicle. ### Claim 13 A non-transitory machine-readable data carrier on which is stored a computer program including machine-readable instructions for improving safety of a driving assistance system of a vehicle, the instructions, when executed by one or more computers and/or compute instances, causing the one or more computers and/or compute instances to perform the following steps: detecting a hazardous situation of the vehicle based on at least one situation-dependent driving parameter; providing a defined base action path including at least a first action portion, wherein, within the first action portion, at least a first vehicle-side action that is suitable to bring the vehicle into a safe state is triggered depending on the detected hazardous situation; assessing the detected hazardous situation for the vehicle; and adjusting the base action path depending on the assessment of the detected hazardous situation for the vehicle. ### Claim 14 One or more computers and/or compute instances including a non-transitory machine-readable data carrier on which is stored a computer program including machine-readable instructions for improving safety of a driving assistance system of a vehicle, the instructions, when executed by the one or more computers and/or compute instances, causing the one or more computers and/or compute instances to perform the following steps: detecting a hazardous situation of the vehicle based on at least one situation-dependent driving parameter; providing a defined base action path including at least a first action portion, wherein, within the first action portion, at least a first vehicle-side action that is suitable to bring the vehicle into a safe state is triggered depending on the detected hazardous situation; assessing the detected hazardous situation for the vehicle; and adjusting the base action path depending on the assessment of the detected hazardous situation for the vehicle.
