Abstract
A method for the automatic operation of a vehicle in an autonomous driving operation requiring no user action by means of a driver assistance system involves informing a driver of the vehicle in good time about an imminent automatic intervention of the driver assistance system into longitudinal and/or transverse dynamics in the autonomous driving operation by way of an automatic emission of a notice.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- automatically operating a vehicle, by a driver assistance system, in an autonomous driving operation requiring no user action;
- and
- informing a driver of the vehicle about an imminent automatic intervention of the driver assistance system into longitudinal or transverse dynamics in the autonomous driving operation by an automatic emission of a notice,
- wherein the notice is emitted haptically and the notice is emitted at a predetermined period of time before the automatic intervention into longitudinal or transverse dynamics.

- and
- informing a driver of the vehicle about an imminent automatic intervention of the driver assistance system into longitudinal or transverse dynamics in the autonomous driving operation by an automatic emission of a notice,
- wherein the notice is emitted haptically and the notice is emitted at a predetermined period of time before the automatic intervention into longitudinal or transverse dynamics, wherein the notice is a change in a transverse inclination of a vehicle body, and wherein the notice relates to an approaching bend.
