Technologies and techniques for detecting a parking space becoming available via an assistance system of a vehicle searching for a parking space. Radar signals are emitted by at least one radar sensor searching for the parking space and whether a parking space becoming available is recognized on the basis of received radar signals, which are evaluated by an evaluation unit of the vehicle. Micro-movements of a vehicle parked in a parking space, may characterize the vacating of the parking space, and may be detected by evaluating the radar signals reflected by this parked vehicle. A presumptive parking space becoming available may be identified by the assistance systems on the basis of such a detection of a micro-movement. An assistance system and a motor vehicle using the assistance system are also disclosed.

Technologies and techniques for providing assistance to a motor vehicle during a process of exiting a lateral parking space. A device is configured with at least one surroundings sensor system and at least one control unit with an assigned memory to acquire successive values of distances from adjacent motor vehicles during a parking process and to store them in a map of the surroundings. The device may be designed in such a way that, before the start of the process of exiting a parking space, current values of distances from the adjacent motor vehicles are acquired and compared with the distance values stored in the map of the surroundings, wherein, when they correspond, a parking-space-exiting trajectory is made available by means of the map of the surroundings.
