Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for assisting a user of a first motor vehicle in the operation of the first motor vehicle, which is located in a geographic region. A motor-vehicle-external data server device () divides the geographic region into a plurality of geographic sectors. A sensor device of a second motor vehicle, which is also located in the region, detects at least one measurement value, and a control device of the second motor vehicle transmits a sensor signal describing the measurement value to the motor-vehicle-external data server device. The motor-vehicle-external data server device receives a request signal from the first motor vehicle, which, at the time at which the request signal is transmitted, is not prepared to detect a measurement value of the same type. If the motor-vehicle-external data service device determines that the motor vehicles are located within the same geographic sector, the motor-vehicle-external data service device transmits the sensor signal to the first motor vehicle.
