Abstract
The invention relates to a driver-assistance device for assisting with driving a motor vehicle (1) following a road (2), this device comprising: a sensor suitable for acquiring a signal representative of the presence of an obstacle in the interior of a detection field (110) of this sensor, and a control module that is programmed to control a driver-assistance function for assisting with driving the motor vehicle, depending on the signal acquired by said sensor, and: a) to detect, on the basis of a position of the motor vehicle and of characteristics of said road, a section (20) of this road located outside of the detection field of said sensor, and b) in case of detection of this road section, to control said driver-assistance function while taking into account the potential presence of an obstacle on said road section. An associated driver-assistance method is also described.
