Abstract:
1. A method for autonomously controlling a movement of a vehicle, comprising: detecting a respective actual position of the vehicle in temporal succession; recording in temporal succession with a first camera device of a mobile control device images of an operator located outside the vehicle, said operator holding the mobile control device; determining with an analysis device at least one of an actual head orientation of the operator and a viewing direction of the operator based on the images recorded with the camera device; and interrupting or terminating the autonomously controlled movement of the vehicle in response to at least one of two instances, a first instance in which the actual head orientation and/or viewing direction of the operator cannot be detected, a second instance in which the head orientation and/or viewing direction of the operator deviates for longer than a predeterminable time period and/or by a predeterminable angle from the actual position of the vehicle.
