ABSTRACT:
A method and device serves to reduce damage caused by an accident, in which a vehicle driver is unable to bring the vehicle that has had an accident into a safe position. A system intervenes in an appropriate manner into the motional behavior of the vehicle, influencing the latter in such a way that the vehicle can be brought into a safe position without the cooperation of the driver (autonomously).
