Controlling a motor vehicle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for controlling a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- scanning, vi a sensor arrangement, an environment of the motor vehicle;
controlling, via a processor, the motor vehicle as a function of the scanned information;
ascertaining, via the processor, a driving situation of the motor vehicle;
one of activating, deactivating, and parameterizing, via the processor, a protective function of the motor vehicle as a function of the ascertained driving situation;
determining whether there is a failure of a protective function of the motor vehicle before the ascertained driving situation occurs; and
performing, if there is a failure of the protective function, a countermeasure or activating a different protective function.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer program, which is executable by a processor, comprising:
a computer code arrangement having program code for controlling a motor vehicle, by performing the following; scanning, via a sensor arrangement, an environment of the motor vehicle; controlling, via the processor, the motor vehicle as a function of the scanned information; ascertaining, via the processor, a driving situation of the motor vehicle; one of activating, deactivating, and parameterizing, via the processor, a protective function of the motor vehicle as a function of the ascertained driving situation, the method being executed when the computer program product is running on a processing device or is stored on a computer-readable data carrier; determining whether there is a failure of a protective function of the motor vehicle before the ascertained driving situation occurs; and performing, if there is a failure of the protective function, a countermeasure or activating a different protective function.

11. A device for controlling a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
a sensor arrangement for scanning an environment of the motor vehicle to produce scanned information; and a processing device for controlling the motor vehicle as a function of the scanned information, wherein the processing device is configured to ascertain a driving situation of the motor vehicle and to one of activate, deactivate, and parameterize a protective function as a function of the ascertained driving situation; wherein the processing device is configured to determine whether there is a failure of a protective function of the motor vehicle before the ascertained driving situation occurs; and
to perform, if there is a failure of the protective function, a countermeasure or activating a different protective function.
