The invention relates to a method for generating a surroundings map () of a surroundings area () of a motor vehicle (), in which method the surroundings area () is captured by way of at least one sensor, in particular ultrasound sensor (), on the motor vehicle, wherein capturing of the surroundings area () by way of the at least one sensor () is performed at at least two different points in time (T, T), and in a manner dependent on said surroundings clearance situations detected in each case in a manner dependent on items of sensor information at the points in time (T, T), a decision is made as regards whether an object () which is at least supposedly situated in the surroundings area () in at least one surroundings clearance situation is, upon an updating of the surroundings map (), displayed on the then updated surroundings map (). The invention also relates to a driver assistance system () and to a motor vehicle ().

Method for generating a surroundings map, and driver assistance system

A method for the output of a warning signal for warning the driver of a motor vehicle about the presence of a vehicle-external target object in a warning region, which is prescribed in relation to the motor vehicle, by means of a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle, in which a radar sensor is used to transmit electromagnetic radar signals into a sensing region of the radar sensor in each of successive measurement cycles of the radar sensor and to receive received signals, the received signals are used for detection of the target object by means of the radar sensor and for tracking said target object in the sensing region over the measurement cycles, and, if the target object enters the prescribed warning region, the warning signal is output by means of an output device.

Method for maintaining a warning signal in a motor vehicle on the basis of the presence of a target object in a warning region, in particular a blind spot region, corresponding driver assistance system, and motor vehicle
