Abstract
In a method for avoiding a collision of a motor vehicle with an obstacle, in which the output signal from a distance measuring device with a plurality of scanning beams emitted fanwise in and beside the motion path of the motor vehicle is fed to an evaluation unit, the output signal from a steering angle sensor is additionally fed to the evaluation unit. The motion path of the motor vehicle is calculated in the evaluation unit and the obstacle is evaluated in terms of the motion path of the motor vehicle. The obstacle is taken into account only if it enters the motion path of the motor vehicle.
