Emergency stop point of a motor vehicle

1. A method for determining an emergency stop point of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:

determining a driving state of the motor vehicle including at least one of a speed of the motor vehicle, an acceleration of the motor vehicle, and a detected current state of objects in an environment of the motor vehicle; and

determining a plurality of emergency stop points that are available in an area of the motor vehicle; wherein

determining, for each of the determined plurality of emergency stop points, a respective value of a danger of the motor vehicle stopping at the respective emergency stop point, the determination of the respective values of the danger being based on the at least one of the speed of the motor vehicle, the acceleration of the motor vehicle, and the detected current state of the objects in the environment of the motor vehicle;

selecting one of the determined plurality of emergency stop points based on the determined respective values of the danger, wherein minimization of the danger is a criterion for the selection; and

outputting the selected emergency stopping point or automatically controlling the motor vehicle to stop at the emergency stopping point.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the danger of the motor vehicle stopping at the respective emergency stop point includes a risk of additional damage to the motor vehicle or to an occupant.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the danger of the motor vehicle stopping at the respective emergency stop point includes a risk of damage to another traffic participant.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the danger of the motor vehicle stopping at the respective emergency stop point is additionally based on environmental data of the emergency stop point from map data.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the respective values of the danger is based on the speed of the motor vehicle.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the respective values of the danger is based on the acceleration of the motor vehicle.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the respective values of the danger is based on the detected current state of the objects in the environment of the motor vehicle.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

scanning the environment of the motor vehicle to detect the current state of the objects in the environment of the motor vehicle.

9. A device for determining an emergency stop point of a motor vehicle, the device comprising:

a determining device to determine a driving state of the motor vehicle including at least one of a speed of the motor vehicle, an acceleration of the motor vehicle, and a detected current state of objects in an environment of the motor vehicle; and

a processing device configured to:

determine a plurality of emergency stop points that are available in an area of the motor vehicle based;

determine, for each of the determined plurality of emergency stop points, respective value of a danger of the motor vehicle stopping at the respective emergency stop point, the determination of the respective values of the danger being based on the at least one of the speed of the motor vehicle, the acceleration of the motor vehicle, and the detected current state of the objects in the environment of the motor vehicle;

select one of the determined plurality of emergency stop points based on the determined respective values of the danger, wherein minimization of the danger is a criterion for the selection; and

output the selected emergency stopping point or automatically control the motor vehicle to stop at the emergency stopping point.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the processing device is configured to control a stopping of the motor vehicle at the determined emergency stop point.
