A method for operating a technical system in an environment is disclosed, wherein the technical system can be moved, as a whole or in parts, in the environment by a motor. A person controls movements of the technical system in the environment at least temporarily. The technical system has a steering assistance system which a) observes the environment using sensors and, depending on the observed environment, determines reference movement courses for the technical system for future time intervals, b) registers movement courses of the technical system actually controlled by the person in the time intervals, c) carries out a comparison between the reference movement courses and the movement courses actually controlled, and d) depending on the comparison result, assigns one of a plurality of steering quality levels to the person. This allows greater safety in the operation of technical systems which are controlled by people in the environment.

Method for operating a technical system that moves in an environment, with assignment of steering quality levels

A method for testing the function of a driver assistance system of a vehicle, wherein an environment of the vehicle is detected by means of a sensor system, includes the following steps: stimulating the driver assistance system by means of an external stimulation; processing the stimulation in the driver assistance system so that a stimulation response is obtained; transmitting the stimulation and/or information relating to the stimulation to an external reference device and determining a reference response for the stimulation in the external reference device in accordance with a desired state of the driver assistance system; and comparing the stimulation response with the reference response. The invention enables the functionality of a driver assistance system of a vehicle to be tested in a simple and cost-effective manner.
