Abstract
A method and a device for adjusting the velocity of a motor vehicle to a programmable target velocity, with a current velocity of the controlled vehicle being measured. A distance sensor measures at least one distance to a vehicle or another obstacle in front of the controlled vehicle. The controlled vehicle is accelerated or decelerated as a function of at least the measured distance and the measured instantaneous velocity. A positive acceleration of the controlled vehicle ceases or is reduced, or the instantaneous velocity of the controlled vehicle is reduced, if a blinding sensor is used to determine that the driver of the controlled vehicle is being blinded by the light of oncoming traffic.
