Abstract
A method is provided for automatically decelerating a vehicle to avoid a collision or reduce the consequences of a collision with a detected collision object, wherein, at a determined intervention point-in-time, a brake system of the vehicle is automatically triggered such that a deceleration of the vehicle is caused, and wherein an automatic deactivation of the automatic braking intervention can take place by an increased actuation of the accelerator. A deactivation is carried out as a function of an override maneuver that depends on the actual driving dynamics, particularly an actuation of the accelerator that depends on the actual driving dynamics.
