Abstract

A motor vehicle for piloted driving including a front axle steering system and a rear axle steering system. In the active, trouble-free driving state with a piloted driving, the driving task for steering the front axle is performed by a front axle steering control which automatically controls the front axle steering system. A failure of the automatic front axle steering control is automatically recognized with a failure recognition device and the vehicle steering is taken over by the rear axle steering system. The motor vehicle is equipped with a device for controlled wheel-selective brake intervention. In case of a failure of the automatic front axle steering control, this device is controlled in such a way that an automatic centering of the front axle steering system is performed by wheel-selective braking interventions.
