Abstract

The invention relates to a method (13) for assisting a driver (2) of a motor vehicle (1). This method captures driving situation data describing an upcoming environmental situation and / or a state of the motor vehicle (1). Based on this data, a situationally appropriate reaction is determined. Using a suitably trained speech model, a speech output (12) is then dynamically generated, which informs the driver (2) of the environmental situation or the state of the motor vehicle (1) and includes a recommendation for action for the driver (2) indicating the determined appropriate reaction.
