Abstract
A driver assistance system () for a vehicle includes environment sensors (), which sense a vehicle environment of the vehicle, and a data processing unit (), which evaluates sensor data of the environment sensors () to detect obstacles (H) in the vehicle environment. In accordance with detected obstacles (H), concealed regions (VB) in the vehicle environment of the vehicle are determined, which concealed regions are concealed by the obstacles (H) and restrict a field of view (FOV) of optical environment sensors () of the driver assistance system ().
