METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DEACTIVATING AN ASSISTED OR AUTOMATED DRIVING FUNCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18503397 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DEACTIVATING AN ASSISTED OR AUTOMATED DRIVING FUNCTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for deactivating an assisted or automated driving function in a motor vehicle by having the driver actuate a braking request presetting device. The driver's actuation can be within a specific duration range or with a braking intensity greater than that exerted by the driving function.

  • Driver actuates braking request presetting device
  • Duration of actuation falls within a specific range or intensity requested is greater than that exerted by the driving function

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Driver assistance systems

Problems Solved

  • Ensures driver control and intervention in emergency situations
  • Prevents unintended deactivation of driving function

Benefits

  • Enhanced safety for drivers and passengers
  • Improved responsiveness to driver input

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Automotive industry for autonomous vehicles
  • Technology companies developing driver assistance systems

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to driver intervention systems in autonomous vehicles or driver assistance technologies.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method impact overall vehicle performance?

This method may affect the overall performance of the vehicle by allowing for smoother transitions between automated and manual driving modes.

What are the potential legal implications of this technology?

The use of this technology may raise questions regarding liability in the event of accidents or malfunctions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for deactivating an assisted or automated driving function in a motor vehicle, with which the driving function carries out a driver-independent braking intervention and with which the driving function is thereby deactivated. The driver actuates a braking request presetting device, wherein the duration of actuation by the driver is between a lower limit value and an upper limit value, or the driver actuates the braking request presetting device in such a way that the intensity of the braking requested by the driver is greater than the intensity of the braking exerted by the driving function.
