Claim 0:
1. A motor vehicle system comprising:
a plurality of environment sensors on a vehicle;
a transceiver on the vehicle;
a driving-maneuver assistance system using a trajectory determined according to an external environment;
a controller device on the vehicle configured to acquire an environment data set (UDS) using the environment sensors; and
a cloud computer remote from the vehicle having a supplemental data set (EDS) which includes environmental information characterized by external sensors not on the vehicle, wherein the controller device transmits the environment data set (UDS) to the cloud computer, and wherein the cloud computer is configured 1) to read in the environment data set (UDS), 2) to generate a supplemental data set (EDS) for supplementing the environment data set (UDS) using a mapping of the environment data set (UDS) to the supplemental data set (EDS), 3) to combine the environment data set (UDS) with the supplemental data set (EDS) in order to generate a supplemented environment data set (UDS′), and 4) to transmit the supplemented environment data set (UDS′) to the controller device on the vehicle;
wherein the controller device is configured to evaluate the supplemented environment data set (UDS′) for controlling the trajectory.
