MOTOR VEHICLE, IN PARTICULAR AUTOMOBILE, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A MOTOR VEHICLE, IN PARTICULAR AN AUTOMOBILE
First Claim
1. A motor vehicle comprising:
- a driver assistance system;
a navigation means comprising a sensor for detecting compressive forces, or tensile forces, or torsional forces;
an evaluation unit coupled to the navigation means, the evaluation unit configured for evaluating signals of the sensor, wherein the evaluation unit puts the driver assistance system into operation or takes it out of operation when a threshold value of the signals stored in the evaluation unit is exceeded or fallen below; and
a controller that is activated when the threshold value is exceeded or fallen below and which transfers at least partial control of the motor vehicle by the driver assistance system to manual operation by a driver or transfers manual control of the motor vehicle to at least partial control by the driver assistance system.

Abstract
A motor vehicle and a method for controlling a motor vehicle in road traffic are provided. A motor vehicle includes a driver assistance system and a navigation means comprising a sensor for detecting compressive forces, or tensile forces, or torsional forces. An evaluation unit is coupled to the navigation means and evaluates the signals of the sensor. The evaluation unit puts the driver assistance system into operation or takes it out of operation when a threshold value of the signals stored in the evaluation unit is exceeded or fallen below. A controller is activated when the threshold value is exceeded or fallen below and transfers at least partial control of the motor vehicle by the driver assistance system to manual operation by a driver or transfers the manual control of the motor vehicle to at least partial control by the driver assistance system.

11. A method for controlling a motor vehicle in road traffic comprises the steps of:
-
sensing a force, such as a compressive force, or a tensile force or a torsional force, exerted on a sensor of a navigation means, evaluating a signal from the sensor by an evaluation unit, putting into operation or taking out of operation a driver assistance system when a threshold value is exceeded or fallen below; and activating a controller when the threshold value is exceeded or fallen below; wherein control of the motor vehicle taken over at least partially by the driver assistance system is transferred by the controller to a manual control of the motor vehicle by an operator or the manual control of the motor vehicle by the controller is transferred into the at least partial control of the motor vehicle by the driver assistance system. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
