Embodiment Construction

[0022] The examples described in detail below demonstrate preferred embodiments of the invention.

[0023] The driving of motor vehicles into or through the car wash line is carried out autonomously. This means that the driver can leave the vehicle and the motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car, is driven through the washing line fully automatically. Alternatively, the driver can also sit in the motor vehicle and be automatically driven through the car wash line.

[0024] A car wash line here means any type of car wash installation in which motor vehicles are washed and, if necessary, dried. As mentioned at the outset, it includes a car wash line in which the vehicles are located during the washing process and, if necessary, the drying process, in which the vehicles are always in motion during the washing process and / or drying process or in the car wash Vehicles in the line only travel from the washing position to the drying position after washing. In general, the met...

Abstract

A method for autonomously driving a motor vehicle in a car wash to enhance comfort and safety includes detecting a passageway of the car wash and determine with vehicle sensors the vehicle position and the vehicle orientation of the vehicle relative to the passageway. The vehicle is subsequently automatically driven into the car wash based on the vehicle position and the vehicle orientation, and automatically stopped in a washing position. After washing is complete, a completion signal signaling completion of a working step of the car wash is received or detected by the motor vehicle. Finally, the motor vehicle is automatically driven out of the car wash in response to the completion signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for autonomous driving of a motor vehicle in a car washing line. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding motor vehicle for autonomous driving in a car washing line. Background technique [0002] Car wash lines for motor vehicles are becoming more and more popular, since motor vehicles can be washed completely automatically outside in a relatively short time. During this time the driver does not need to do any washing phases himself. [0003] There are many different types of car wash lines. In a car wash line, the driver drives the motor vehicle into the wash line, turns off the vehicle, exits the vehicle if desired, the washing process and subsequent drying process begins, and the driver drives the vehicle out of the wash at the end Wire. In another car washing line, the vehicle is automatically pulled from the washing room to the drying room by using a traction chain, and the vehicle must be in an i...
