Risk-based control of a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a motor vehicle with the aid of a highly automated driving function, which encompasses a plurality of function components, the method comprising:
- executing a driving function using a first function component, wherein the driving function is a longitudinal or lateral control of the motor vehicle;
comparing a behavior of the first function component to a specified behavior;
ascertaining that the behavior of the first function component deviates from the specified behavior;
ascertaining a first accident risk for the first function component, wherein the ascertaining of the first accident risk assumes a situation in which the driving function continues to be executed using the first function component;
ascertaining a second accident risk for a second function component, wherein the ascertaining of the second accident risk assumes a situation in which the execution of the driving function switches over to and continues execution of the driving function of a using the second function component instead of the first function component, wherein the ascertaining of the second accident risk includes ascertaining a risk related to the switchover from the first function component to the second function component; and
executing the driving function using a particular one of the first function component and the second function component, whose ascertained accident risk is the lowest.

Abstract
A highly automated driving function for controlling a motor vehicle includes a plurality of function components. A method for controlling the motor vehicle includes steps of executing the driving function using a first function component, comparing the behavior of the first function component to a specified behavior, ascertaining that the behavior of the first function component deviates from the specified behavior, ascertaining a first accident risk if the driving function continues to be executed with the aid of the first function component, ascertaining a second accident risk if the execution of the driving function continues with the aid of a second function component, and executing the driving function with the aid of the particular function component whose allocated accident risk is the lowest.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium on which is stored a computer program including program code for controlling a motor vehicle with the aid of a highly automated driving function, which encompasses a plurality of function components, the computer program, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform:
- executing a driving function using a first function component, wherein the driving function is a longitudinal or lateral control of the motor vehicle;
comparing a behavior of the first function component to a specified behavior;
ascertaining that the behavior of the first function component deviates from the specified behavior;
ascertaining a first accident risk for the first function component, wherein the ascertaining of the first accident risk assumes a situation in which the driving function continues to be executed using the first function component;
ascertaining a second accident risk for a second function component, wherein the ascertaining of the second accident risk assumes a situation in which the execution of the driving function switches over to and continues execution of the driving function using the second function component instead of the first function component, wherein the ascertaining of the second accident risk includes ascertaining a risk related to the switchover from the first function component to the second function component; and
executing the driving function the using a particular one of the first function component and the second function component, whose ascertained accident risk is the lowest.

8. A device for controlling a motor vehicle with the aid of a highly automated driving function, which encompasses a plurality of function components, comprising:
- a control arrangement including hardware configured to perform the following;
executing a driving function using a first function component, wherein the driving function includes a longitudinal or lateral control of the vehicle;
comparing a behavior of the first function component to a specified behavior;
ascertaining that the behavior of the first function component deviates from the specified behavior;
ascertaining a first accident risk for the first function component, wherein the ascertaining of the first accident risk assumes a situation in which the driving function continues to be executed using the first function component;
ascertaining a second accident risk for a second function component, wherein the ascertaining of the second accident risk assumes a situation in which the execution of the driving function switches over to and continues execution of the driving function using the second function component instead of the first function component, wherein the ascertaining of the second accident risk includes ascertaining a risk related to the switchover from the first function component to the second function component; and
executing the driving function using a particular one of the first function component and the second function component, whose ascertained accident risk is the lowest.
