Claim 5:
6. The method according to claim 1, wherein after the step of illuminating the part of the roadway corresponding to the roadway detection path in which the roadway anomaly has been detected, the method further comprises repeatedly performing the steps of:
recording camera data of a part of the roadway surface lying in front of the motor vehicle in the forward driving direction using the camera;
individually evaluating camera data relating to the roadway detection paths in relation to ranges and at least one quantity from among a magnitude of a vertical dimension (hi) of the roadway, a magnitude of a gradient (gradx;i) of the roadway in the forward driving direction, and an instantaneous speed (vmom) of the motor vehicle;
continuing to detect the roadway anomaly in response to compliance of at least one from among a magnitude of a vertical dimension (hi) of the roadway, a magnitude of a gradient (gradx;i) in the forward driving direction, and an instantaneous speed (vmom) of the motor vehicle with at least one modified predetermined condition involving at least a lower requirement for compliance.
