发明名称 Method for autonomous driving in a car wash and a motor vehicle
摘要 A method for autonomously driving a motor vehicle in a car wash to enhance comfort and safety includes detecting a passageway of the car wash and determine with vehicle sensors the vehicle position and the vehicle orientation of the vehicle relative to the passageway. The vehicle is subsequently automatically driven into the car wash based on the vehicle position and the vehicle orientation, and automatically stopped in a washing position. After washing is complete, a completion signal signaling completion of a working step of the car wash is received or detected by the motor vehicle. Finally, the motor vehicle is automatically driven out of the car wash in response to the completion signal.

主权项 1. A method for autonomously driving a motor vehicle to and in a car wash, the method comprising: receiving from the car wash an identification signal informing the motor vehicle about an identity or a location of the car wash, driving the vehicle automatically, semi-automatically or manually to an entrance of the car wash based on the received identification signal, switching the motor vehicle to automatic control when autonomous driving in the car wash is possible, detecting with the aid of a sensor system of the motor vehicle a passageway of the car wash, wherein the passageway has an entrance and an exit sequentially arranged in a travel direction of the motor vehicle, detecting a vehicle position and a vehicle orientation of the motor vehicle relative to the passageway of the car wash, detecting with the sensor system orientation elements stationarily placed in the car wash and guiding the motor vehicle, with the aid of the sensor system of the motor vehicle, through the entrance of the passageway into the car wash, stopping the motor vehicle when the sensor system determines, based on orientation elements disposed in the car wash, that a washing position has been reached, receiving from the car wash or determining by the motor vehicle a completion signal, which signals completion of a working step of the car wash, with the aid of the sensor system and the orientation elements, driving the motor vehicle out of the car wash through the exit of the passageway in response to the completion signal, and deactivating autonomous driving after exiting the car wash.
