Claim 0:
1. A method for automatic driver-independent deceleration of a vehicle, the method comprising:
identifying a first setpoint value for a braking process;
controlling a brake pressure adjuster during the braking process based upon the identified first setpoint without activating a fallback brake system;
identifying a second setpoint value for the braking process after controlling the brake pressure adjuster during the braking process based upon the identified first setpoint without operating the fallback brake system;
in response to the second setpoint value exceeding a threshold value associated with a defect of the brake pressure adjuster, automatically decelerating a vehicle by operating the brake pressure adjuster and the fallback brake system of a brake system of the vehicle to generate a brake force, wherein:
the brake pressure adjuster is configured to adjust a hydraulic pressure of a hydraulic vehicle brake of the brake system,
the second setpoint value is automatically determined via a controller of the hydraulic vehicle brake, and
the second setpoint value is adjustable in the hydraulic vehicle brake.
