1. A method for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- ascertaining, for at least one occupant of the vehicle and based on passenger compartment data, a probability that the at least one occupant of the vehicle would sustain an injury if an accident would occur;
adapting a drive of the vehicle based on the ascertained probability;
ascertaining whether an optimization of the drive, to increase a speed of the vehicle and/or to switch to an alternative route by which a destination can be reached quicker than by using a currently set route, is possible in response to a change to an improved safety state of one or more of the at least one occupant that reduces the ascertained probability; and
outputting a signal in the vehicle indicating to the at least one occupant the possibility of the optimization of the drive by the at least one occupant effecting the change to the improved safety state of the one or more of the at least one occupant.

14. A device, comprising:
an adapting unit of a vehicle, wherein the adapting unit is configured to perform a method comprising; ascertaining, for at least one occupant of the vehicle and based on passenger compartment data, a probability that the at least one occupant of the vehicle would sustain an injury if an accident would occur; adapting a drive of the vehicle based on the ascertained probability; ascertaining whether an optimization of the drive, to increase a speed of the vehicle and/or to switch to an alternative route by which a destination can be reached quicker than by using a currently set route, is possible in response to a change to an improved safety state of one or more of the at least one occupant that reduces the ascertained probability; and outputting a signal in the vehicle indicating to the at least one occupant the possibility of the optimization of the drive by the at least one occupant effecting the change to the improved safety state of the one or more of the at least one occupant.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium on which is stored a computer program that includes program code that is executable by a processor and that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
ascertaining, for at least one occupant of a vehicle and based on passenger compartment data, a probability that the at least one occupant of the vehicle would sustain an injury if an accident would occur; adapting a drive of the vehicle based on the ascertained probability; ascertaining whether an optimization of the drive, to increase a speed of the vehicle and/or to switch to an alternative route by which a destination can be reached quicker than by using a currently set route, is possible in response to a change to an improved safety state of one or more of the at least one occupant that reduces the ascertained probability; and outputting a signal in the vehicle indicating to the at least one occupant the possibility of the optimization of the drive by the at least one occupant effecting the change to the improved safety state of the one or more of the at least one occupant. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A method for a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
ascertaining, based on passenger compartment data, a current safety state of an occupant of the vehicle, wherein the ascertainment of the current safety state includes determining; whether a seat belt associated with the occupant is buckled; whether an object that is inside the vehicle and that is classified as hazardous is in close proximity to the occupant or to a particular region of the occupant; and
/orwhether an object that is inside the vehicle is positioned relative to the occupant so as to limit a deceleration path of the occupant; adapting a drive of the vehicle based on the ascertained current safety state; ascertaining whether an optimization of the drive, to increase a speed of the vehicle and/or to switch to an alternative route by which a destination can be reached quicker than by using a currently set route, is possible in response to a change from the current safety state to an improved safety state of one or more of the occupant that reduces the ascertained probability; and outputting a signal in the vehicle indicating to the occupant the possibility of the optimization of the drive by the occupant effecting the change to the improved safety state of the occupant. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
ascertaining an unsafe state of an occupant of the vehicle based on passenger compartment data; selecting one or more driving parameters for a non-optimized drive of vehicle based on the ascertained unsafe state of the occupant; determining that the unsafe state of the occupant can be removed by a modification to a position of the occupant relative an object that is in the vehicle; and responsive to the determination, outputting a signal in the vehicle indicating to the occupant that the drive of the vehicle can be changed to an optimized drive, to increase a speed of the vehicle and/or to switch to an alternative route by which a destination can be reached quicker than by using a currently set route, with the occupant performing the modification. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
