METHOD AND DEVICE FOR LONGITUDINALLY GUIDING A MOTOR VEHICLE

Abstract: technologies and techniques for laterally guiding a motor vehicle include a device with at least one assistance system, at least one surroundings sensor system, and/or access to a database of swarm data. the device is configured to detect driving lane boundaries based on data from the surroundings sensor system and/or swarm data. the assistance system generates steering instructions for a steering system, based on the data, to maintain the motor vehicle on a target trajectory. the motor vehicle driver may adapt the target trajectory, and the assistance system generates steering instructions to maintain the adapted target trajectory. the device identifies areas, referred to as operational design domains (odds), where the motor vehicle driver is permitted to remove their hands from the steering handle. a sensor system detects whether hands are removed. if no hands are detected, or upon entering an odd, the system transitions to a predefined target trajectory.
