Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle which is capable of driving either under the control of a human driver who is located on board the motor vehicle or autonomously, at least over certain sections of a route, and which is able to avoid collisions, detect adverse effects on the driver and bring about emergency stops. Accordingly, the motor vehicle has an emergency braking assistant, and if an adverse effect on the driver is detected in the autonomous driving mode, a characteristic curve which is preset for emergency braking operations is changed in such a way that an emergency braking operation is initiated at an earlier point and the braking force is built up more slowly than in the non-autonomous driving mode.
