Method for specifying a driving strategy, and vehicle

1. A method for specifying a driving strategy for a vehicle driving with a first driving parameter, the vehicle being operable in an energy saving mode, the method comprising:

operating the vehicle in an at least partly automatic driving mode;

detecting, by the vehicle, a following vehicle that is located behind the vehicle in the driving direction of the vehicle;

detecting, by the vehicle, a second driving parameter that is assigned to the following vehicle, the second driving parameter comprising at least one or more of a distance between the vehicle and the following vehicle, and a speed of the following vehicle;

determining, by the vehicle, whether a negative readiness or a positive readiness for coupling of the following vehicle to the vehicle is given;

in the event of a negative readiness, automatically performing a reaction measure by the vehicle depending on the second driving parameter, wherein the reaction measure comprises an automatic deactivation of the energy saving mode of the vehicle; and

in the event of a positive readiness, automatically coupling the following vehicle to the vehicle by the following vehicle adjusting to the first driving parameter of the vehicle.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction measure comprises the initiation of a negotiation about a coupling of the following vehicle to the vehicle.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the initiation of a negotiation about a coupling of the following vehicle to the vehicle is conducted by adapting the first driving parameter of the vehicle.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein during one or more of the detection of the second driving parameter of the following vehicle and the recognition of the negative readiness for coupling, a pattern recognition of the second driving parameter is performed.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the detection of the second driving parameter is performed passively by a rear sensor system of the vehicle.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein during one or more of the detection of the second driving parameter of the following vehicle and the recognition of the negative readiness for coupling, a pattern recognition of the second driving parameter is performed.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the pattern recognition of the second driving parameter comprises a recognition of a change in the second driving parameter, in particular an alternation of the second driving parameter.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the detection of the second driving parameter is performed passively by a rear sensor system of the vehicle.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the detection of the second driving parameter is performed passively by a rear sensor system of the vehicle.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detection of the second driving parameter is performed passively by a rear sensor system of the vehicle.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein during one or more of the detection of the second driving parameter of the following vehicle and the recognition of the negative readiness for coupling by the vehicle, a network is accessed.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle is operated in an at least partially automated driving mode, and the reaction measure comprises a deactivation of the at least partially automated driving mode.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction measure is performed depending on a traffic situation in which the vehicle is in.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction measure comprises the initiation of a negotiation about a coupling of the following vehicle to the vehicle.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the initiation of a negotiation about a coupling of the following vehicle to the vehicle is conducted by adapting the first driving parameter of the vehicle.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein during one or more of the detection of the second driving parameter of the following vehicle and the recognition of the negative readiness for coupling, a pattern recognition of the second driving parameter is performed.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detection of the second driving parameter is performed passively by a rear sensor system of the vehicle.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein during one or more of the detection of the second driving parameter of the following vehicle and the recognition of the negative readiness for coupling by the vehicle, a network is accessed.

19. A vehicle, having at least a control unit, the vehicle being operable in an energy saving mode, wherein the control unit is configured to:

operate the vehicle in an at least partly automatic driving mode;

detect a following vehicle that is located behind the vehicle in the driving direction of the vehicle;

detect a second driving parameter that is assigned to the following vehicle, the second driving parameter comprising at least one or more of a distance between the vehicle and the following vehicle, and a speed of the following vehicle;

determine, whether a negative readiness or a positive readiness for coupling of the following vehicle to the vehicle is given;

in the event of a negative readiness, automatically performing a reaction measure depending on the second driving parameter, wherein the reaction measure comprises an automatic deactivation of the energy saving mode; and

in the event of a positive readiness, automatically coupling the following vehicle to the vehicle by the following vehicle adjusting to the first driving parameter of the vehicle.
