determining an autonomous-driving quantity which quantifies an autonomous-driving quality of the driving of the driving unit;
associating the autonomous-driving quantity with a plurality of manual-driving quantities, which have been determined from the at least one driving parameter during manual driving periods of different driving units; and
determining an autonomous-driving accident rate value from accident rate values associated with the manual-driving quantities.

Abstract
A method for estimating an accident risk of an autonomous driving unit produces helpful results with fewer autonomous driving cycles. From driving values, which have been determined from monitoring at least one driving parameter of the driving unit during autonomous driving, an autonomous-driving quantity is determined quantifying an autonomous-driving quality of the driving of the driving unit. The autonomous-driving quantity is associated with a plurality of manual-driving quantities, which have been determined from the same driving parameter during manual driving periods of different driving units. An autonomous-driving accident rate value is determined from accident rate values associated to those manual-driving quantities.
