Abstract
A method and an assistance device assist automated driving operation of a motor vehicle. Surroundings raw data recorded by way of a surroundings sensor system of the motor vehicle are processed by the assistance device in order to generate semantic surroundings data. This is accomplished by carrying out semantic object recognition. Further, a comparison of predefined semantically annotated map data against the semantic surroundings data is performed. This involves static objects indicated in the map data being identified in the semantic surroundings data as far as possible. Discrepancies detected during the process are used to recognize perception errors of the assistance device. A recognized perception error prompts a predefined safety measure to be carried out.
