Abstract
A method for the automated driving of a motor vehicle which provides environment data, detects objects in the environment data, selects a current scenario by a scenario-interpretation apparatus on the basis of the detected objects, wherein a scenario has at least one elementary situation which is assigned at least one monitoring region and an enable criterion as attributes, and in addition successively for each of the elementary situations of the current scenario, estimates a destination point, plans a trajectory to the destination point by a maneuver-planning apparatus, interrogates information about a monitoring region from the environment-perception apparatus by the scenario-interpretation apparatus, checks for the presence of the at least one enable criterion by the scenario-interpretation apparatus, and if the at least one enable criterion is satisfied, automated driving along the trajectory as far as the destination point by a controller. Also disclosed is an associated device.
