Abstract
A method is disclosed for controlling the triggering sensitivity of an automatic braking process for a motor vehicle based on the driving behavior of an individual driver. A predetermined fixed threshold value of the actuation speed of the brake pedal is multiplied by a driver-dependent factor which is determined after each braking process, as a function of the actuation speed and of the pedal travel of the brake pedal, to generate a driver-dependent threshold for actuation of automatic braking.
