A system for sensing at least one object in the surroundings of a motor vehicle, includes at least one first sensor for classifying the at least one object, the ability of the at least one first sensor to carry out classification depending on the brightness of the at least one object; at least one second sensor for detecting the at least one object; and at least one actuator for increasing the brightness of the at least one object. The system is designed to increase the brightness of the at least one object by the at least one actuator when the at least one second sensor detects the at least one object and the at least one first sensor cannot classify the at least one object.

A driver assistance system is provided in a motor vehicle, which driver assistance system executes at least active transverse guidance interventions. The driver assistance system can be activated while decoupled from the activation of a longitudinal control system but can also be active both, with and without longitudinal control, and includes both a traffic jam assistance sub-function and a track guiding assistant sub-function. The two sub-functions can be jointly activated and deactivated by a single on-/off-button. The driver assistance system is characterized by a special combination of the sub-functions track guiding assistance and traffic jam assistance. They each take turns depending on the presence of conditions, which are defined differently for each sub-function.
