Abstract

A method for the automated braking and/or steering of a vehicle uses at least one sensor system for detecting the vehicle's surroundings, a potential collision object in the vehicle's surroundings, and a relative speed of the vehicle relative to the potential collision object. The activation and/or the sequence of an automated steering intervention and/or an automated braking intervention is determined based on the relative speed. The braking intervention is activated at first when the relative speed is below or equal to a predefined threshold, and the steering intervention is activated at first when the relative speed is above the predefined threshold.
