Patent ID: 11106202

Abstract:
A driver assistance system for at least semi-automatically coupling a two-track motor vehicle to a trailer has an electronic control unit. The system is configured to undertake the transverse guidance and/or the longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle reversing toward the trailer, in particular by automatically adjusting an appropriate vehicle steering angle and/or by appropriate interventions in the drive and braking system of the motor vehicle, by evaluating signals of a vehicle-internal reversing camera. The control unit has a functional unit, which is configured, in particular by corresponding programming, such that the signals of a vehicle-external camera of a portable electronic mobile radio unit can be detected, and these signals can then be converted into the data form of the signals of a vehicle-internal reversing camera. A driver assistance system, which is designed for a vehicle having a reversing camera, can therefore be used even in a vehicle without a reversing camera or in the event of a faulty reversing camera.
