The invention relates to a method for estimating at least one
blind spot (24) of a first, at least partially automated motor vehicle (10) by a
blind spot detection
system (12) for the first motor vehicle (10), comprising the steps of: (S1) providing at least one first piece of data relevant for the
object detection task (19) by an electronic computing device (14) of the
blind spot detection
system (12); (S2A) determining the presence of at least one second motor vehicle (20) in the vicinity of the first motor vehicle (10) by the electronic computing device (14); (S2A) establishing a connection (26) between the first motor vehicle (10) and the second motor vehicle (20) by a
telecommunications device (16) of the
blind spot detection system (12); (S3) receiving at least one second piece of data relevant for the
object detection task (28) from at least the second motor vehicle (20) by the
telecommunications device (16);(S4) Comparing at least the first
data point (19) with at least the second
data point (28); (S5) Determining, based on at least one such comparison, at least one area that cannot currently be observed by at least the first motor vehicle (10) but can be observed by at least the second motor vehicle (20); (S6) and estimating at least the blind spot (24) based on the determination of at least one such area. (S7) The present invention further relates to a
computer program product, a non-volatile, computer-readable storage medium, and a
blind spot detection system (12).
