Claim 0:
1. A method for automatically emergency stopping a motor vehicle from a starting speed to a standstill by a braking device of the motor vehicle, the method comprising:
determining that the vehicle should be automatically stopped; and
actuating, responsive to the determination that the vehicle should be automatically stopped, the braking device to carry out a delay profile having at least two delay phases,
wherein, during a delay increase phase, a first delay until a threshold delay is increased and during a delay decrease phase a second delay is reduced to zero,
wherein temporal courses of the delay are determined during the delay increase and the delay decrease at least sectionally as nth degree polynomials, where n>0, depending on a starting speed of the vehicle in such a way that a stopping duration, which represents a time duration necessary for emergency stopping, does not fall below a predetermined minimum stopping duration and a distance covered during the stopping duration does not exceed a predetermined maximum stopping distance.
