Claim 8:
9. A method for configuring automated longitudinal guidance for a motor vehicle, comprising:
determining or receiving a virtual acceleration for the motor vehicle;
determining, for each of two further road users in surroundings of the motor vehicle, a time period until a virtual collision of the motor vehicle with the respective road user as a function of the virtual acceleration of the motor vehicle;
selecting one of the two further road users as a target object as a function of the time periods until the virtual collision of the motor vehicle with the respective road user;
determining or receiving a correction value, in terms of time, for the time period determined for the one further road user until the virtual collision with the motor vehicle;
correcting, using the correction value, the time period determined for the one further road user until the virtual collision with the motor vehicle; and
configuring the longitudinal guidance to control the motor vehicle as a function of the road user which is selected as the target object.
