Abstract

A method for controlling the operation of an automatic driving assistance system of a motor vehicle, which is designed for independent vehicle guidance. When at least one driving control takeover condition is met which brings about deactivation of the driving assistance system when driving control is taken over by the driver, at least one takeover request is output to the driver. If the driver does not react to this takeover request, replanning of the original route occurs with an original destination to a stopping point which can be approached in an automated manner. The replanning occurs in such a way that the stopping point constitutes, in the context of the present position of the motor vehicle with respect to the original destination, an optimum stopping point which is determined according to at least one optimality criterion.
