Claim 7:
8. A method for a motor vehicle, the method comprising the following steps:
recording a representation of dynamic data of the vehicle detected by sensors of the vehicle during a first part of a current driving maneuver performed by a driver-operation of the vehicle, wherein the dynamic data include at least a driving velocity and a yaw rate and the representation indicates a change of a yaw angle of the vehicle as a function of a path covered by the vehicle;
representing multiple hypotheses for potentially occurring driving maneuvers by respective associated sets of parameters, wherein the sets of parameters for each of the hypotheses encompass at least one maximum yaw rate which is reached during the respective driving maneuver;
calculating a theoretical representation of the driving maneuver based on the parameters for each of the hypotheses, wherein each of the theoretical representations is calculated based on a model in which the yaw rate in a first phase of the respective driving maneuver increases linearly to a maximum yaw rate, remains constant in a second phase, and decreases linearly in a third phase;
comparing the recorded representation to at least one of the theoretical representations;
based on a degree of similarity of the recorded representation and the at least one of the theoretical representations determined by the comparing, predicting a continued future course of the current driving maneuver that will result from a continuation of the driver-operation of the vehicle to follow a course represented by one or more of the hypotheses that is determined to describe the current driving maneuver with a highest probability; and
in response to the prediction, the vehicle performing an automatic driving maneuver of a drive assistance system of the vehicle intervening in the driver-operation of the vehicle.
