Abstract
In a method for operating a motor vehicle which is configured to autonomously drives to a predefined travel destination, a driver's line of view is detected, and the autonomous driving operation is influenced as a function of the detected driver's line of view.
Claims15
A method for operating a host motor vehicle which is configured to drive to a predefined destination autonomously, the method comprising:
- detecting, by at least one driver command detection device, a driver command, wherein the driver command comprises a driver of the host motor vehicle directing the driver's eyes toward an observation target, the driver command being unprompted by a control unit;
- determining, by the control unit, wherein the control unit has at least one processor, an autonomous driving action of the host motor vehicle corresponding to the driver command;
- receiving, by at least one driver verification command detection device, at least one verification command, wherein the at least one verification command actuates the autonomous driving action;
- and
- actuating, by the control unit, the autonomous driving action of the host motor vehicle upon receiving the at least one verification command.

A control system for an autonomous driving motor vehicle configured to drive to a predefined travel destination autonomously, the control system comprising:
- a navigation system configured to receive data describing a surrounding environment of the motor vehicle;
- a surround sensor system configured to receive data describing the surrounding environment of the motor vehicle;
- a control unit including at least one processor;
- at least one driver command detection device configured to detect a driver command, wherein the driver command comprises a driver of the motor vehicle directing the driver's eyes toward an observation target, the driver command being unprompted by the control unit;
- the control unit being configured to determine an autonomous driving action of the motor vehicle corresponding to the driver command;
- at least one driver verification command detection device configured to receive at least one verification command, wherein the at least one verification command actuates the autonomous driving action;
- and
- the control unit being further configured to actuate the autonomous driving action of the motor vehicle upon receiving the at least one verification command.
