1. A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle, comprising:

  • a controller configured to control an acceleration of the motor vehicle according to a setpoint acceleration; and

    an input coupling unit configured to couple a driver-generated increment of additional acceleration predefinable by the driver of the vehicle prior to an acceleration event into the driver assistance system,whereinthe controller comprises an acceleration controller, which receives the setpoint acceleration; and

    the input coupling unit is operatively configured upstream of the acceleration controller and generates, in response to operation of an operating element by the driver during the acceleration event, the setpoint acceleration by superimposing at least a portion of the predefined increment of additional acceleration on a system acceleration of the driver assistance system, the portion of the predefined increment of additional acceleration coupled into the driver assistance system being proportional to an amount of actuation of the operating element by the driver during the acceleration event.
