Claim 9:
10. A motor vehicle comprising:
a vehicle system comprising a control unit configured to operate the motor vehicle in a search for a parking space, the operating occurring in a completely autonomous manner;
wherein the motor vehicle is configured to:
receive, from a transmitting device, permissibility information associated with a candidate parking space, wherein the motor vehicle receives the permissibility information directly from the transmitting device via short range wireless signals, wherein the candidate parking space is locally and exclusively associated with the transmitting device, such that the transmitting device is assigned to the candidate parking space and cyclically broadcasts the permissibility information only for the candidate parking space within a local transmitting range that is positioned on the candidate parking space, and wherein the permissibility information describes a permissibility of at least one of parking the motor vehicle on the candidate parking space, or driving through at least a section of a path leading to the candidate parking space;
detect, by the control unit, the candidate parking space in an environment of the motor vehicle based on at least one environmental sensor of the motor vehicle;
in response to the detecting, access, by the control unit, the permissibility information associated with the candidate parking space; and
evaluate, by the control unit, the permissibility information to determine a relevance of the candidate parking space for the motor vehicle;
in response to determining that the candidate parking space is relevant to the motor vehicle, further evaluate, by the control unit, the permissibility information, wherein the control unit is configured to further evaluate the permissibility information only when it is determined that the candidate parking space is relevant to the motor vehicle, the further evaluation being prevented if the vehicle system determines from the initial evaluation of the permissibility information that the candidate parking space allows parking only for a rescue vehicle and the motor vehicle is not the rescue vehicle;
select, by the control unit, the candidate parking space for parking by the motor vehicle based at least in part on the further evaluation of the permissibility information.
