Abstract
The invention relates to a method for detecting a parking space () by means of a parking assistance system () of a motor vehicle () while the motor vehicle () is travelling past the parking space (). A first sensor () acquires a time sequence () of measured values (), and a second sensor () likewise acquires a time sequence () of measured values () while the vehicle is travelling past. The parking space () is detected on the basis of the measured values () of at least one of the sensors (,). For the detection of the parking space (), the measured values () of the first sensor () and the measured values () of the second sensor () are acquired redundantly, and the plausibility of the time sequence () of the measured values () of the first sensor () is checked on the basis of the measured values () of the second sensor (). The invention also relates to a parking assistance system (), as well as to a motor vehicle () with such a system.
