A method and a device for an assistance system, e.g. a parking assistance system, perform an autonomous or semi-autonomous driving maneuver of a vehicle. A camera system generates image data from the surroundings of the vehicle. A processor arrangement processes the image data to produce control information that is used by the assistance system to perform the driving maneuver. If the image data show that a restriction or impediment is present, then the assistance system is put in a safe state.

The present invention relates to an electromechanically operable disc brake for motor vehicles comprising a brake caliper and an actuator arranged at the brake caliper, with two friction linings cooperating with each one lateral surface of a brake disc, with at least one of the friction linings being movable into engagement with the brake disc by way of the actuator, and the actuator having an electric motor that is driven by means of an electronic control and regulation unit. To achieve a compact disc brake, the invention discloses that the control and regulation unit is arranged directly at the actuator . This provision renders it possible to configure the electric connection as a plug coupling, which offers financial and safety advantages.
