Abstract
In a method for automated avoidance of a collision of a vehicle with an object in the surroundings of the vehicle, multiple vehicle paths are predicted and each one is weighted with a vehicle path probability, the vehicle surroundings are recorded with an imaging vehicle sensor, an object in the vehicle surroundings is captured, at least one object path in the vehicle surroundings is predicted and is weighted with an object path probability, one of the vehicle paths is tested for collision with the at least one object path and if a collision is possible, a collision probability with the at least one object path is calculated, a weighting criterion for an overall collision probability of the vehicle with the object is ascertained and a test is performed of whether the weighting criterion exceeds a threshold and if the threshold is exceeded a collision avoidance maneuver is triggered.
