A method for operating a partially autonomous motor vehicle, wherein in a non-parked state of the motor vehicle, sensor data of a sensor device, which detects at least one person in the surroundings of the motor vehicle, are analyzed with respect to a behavior of the person disadvantageously impairing the further driving operation of the motor vehicle and at least one action counteracting the behavior of the person is triggered in dependence on the analysis result.

The discloser relates to a method for evaluating an optical appearance in the surroundings of a vehicle and to a vehicle. The method has the steps of providing a captured image of the surroundings of a vehicle and extracting features from the captured image. Furthermore, the method comprises carrying out a first analysis of the captured image, wherein one or more objects are detected as surfaces and the result of the analysis is provided as a first analysis result. A second analysis of the captured image is also carried out, wherein edges of one or more objects are detected and the result of the analysis is provided as a second analysis result, the first analysis and the second analysis being carried out independently of each other. The method further comprises combining the first analysis result and the second analysis result to form an output image.

This disclosure relates to a method for the driverless operation of a vehicle system of a motor vehicle designed for fully automatic control of the motor vehicle. In accordance with at least one sequential criterion, which evaluates a status of the driver, comprising location information describing the current position of the driver and/or comprising resource information describing an amount of a resource that is present or required for the driver, of which resource a supply is present in the motor vehicle, operating information describing the taking of the motor vehicle to a sequential position having a shorter, in particular minimum possible distance from the current position of the driver or from a predicted destination of the driver, is automatically determined and applied. A motor vehicle with an onboard vehicle system and a control device, for execution of the method, are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a method for determining a communication network for collecting information in the surroundings of a motor vehicle, in which a request message is transmitted, and the request message is received by a first outside vehicle, and a first response message is transmitted by the outside vehicle to the motor vehicle, wherein the request message of each first outside vehicle is transmitted to at least one respective second outside vehicle, wherein a second response message is transmitted by means of the respective second outside vehicle to the first outside vehicle and from there is transmitted to the motor vehicle, wherein a current position of the respective outside vehicle is transmitted with the response messages, and wherein, depending on the response messages, a network plan of the communication network is determined by the motor vehicle, and on the basis of the network plan, a unique transmission path to one of the outside vehicles is established for another request message of the motor vehicle for collecting information from one of the outside vehicles.
