System for obtaining rule sets for motor vehicle automation
First Claim
1. A method for obtaining rule sets for a motor vehicle to be automated, comprising:
- receiving with a stationary central server arrangement from each respective one of a plurality of motor vehicles at least one item of activation information regarding a vehicle function activated in the respective motor vehicle in an actual respective situation encountered by the respective motor vehicle;
receiving with the stationary central server arrangement a respective data set comprising vehicle data determined by the respective motor vehicle in the respective actual situation;
generating with the stationary centralized server rule sets on the basis of the respective data set and the at least one item of activation information received from each respective motor vehicle, each said rule set defining an activation condition and a vehicle function to be activated when the activation condition is satisfied, wherein at least one of the rule sets comprises an if-then-rule for a value of the vehicle data; and
transmitting the rule sets to the motor vehicle to be automated, said motor vehicle to be automated being configured to detect another data set for the actual situation encountered by the motor vehicle to be automated, said other data set comprising vehicle data specific for the actual situation encountered by the motor vehicle to be automated, said motor vehicle to be automated being further configured to analyze whether the other data set satisfies one of the activation conditions and, to autonomously activate the vehicle function or to suggest activation of the vehicle function when the other data set satisfies the one of the activation conditions.

Abstract
A method for obtaining rule sets for a motor vehicle to be automated includes receiving with a stationary central server arrangement from each respective one of a plurality of other motor vehicles at least one item of activation information regarding a vehicle function activated in the respective motor vehicle in an actual situation encountered by the respective motor vehicle, and a respective data set including vehicle data determined by the respective motor vehicle in the respective actual situation; generating with the centralized server rule sets on the basis of the respective data set and the at least one item of activation information, wherein each rule set defines an activation condition and a vehicle function to be activated when the activation condition is satisfied; and transmitting the rule sets to the motor vehicle to be automated. The motor vehicle to be automated is configured to detect whether a situation-specific data set generated by the motor vehicle to be automated satisfies the activation condition, and to autonomously activate the vehicle function when the data set satisfies the activation condition.
