Abstract

A method and a device for transitioning a vehicle traveling with transverse guidance assistance into a driving state with a reduced collision risk in the event of a driver emergency, wherein the speed of the vehicle is greater than a predetermined threshold speed. The method includes detecting a hands-off situation of the driver in a hands-off phase, outputting a hands-off warning, performing a warning escalation in an escalation phase if there is no response to the hands-off warning, and reducing the vehicle speed in an intervention phase to a speed which is less than or equal to a threshold speed, the vehicle being kept in the current travel lane if there is no response to the warning escalation.
