Abstract
A method for autonomously driving a motor vehicle in a car wash as well as a corresponding car wash is proposed in order to enhance the comfort and safety when autonomously driving through the car wash. The position and the orientation of the motor vehicle are detected by a sensor system of the car wash and transmitted to the motor vehicle. This makes it possible to automatically enter and move the vehicle onward in a car wash.
