摘要

The invention relates to a method for warning a driver of a vehicle (1) of the presence of objects in a blind spot area (4) of the vehicle (1), wherein in each case by means of a sensor unit (3) in a single measurement cycle for a plurality of different detection directions Distance value is detected and each pair of a detection direction and the associated distance value corresponds to a point in space (23, 24, 25, 26) in an environment of the vehicle (1). It is provided that, according to predetermined grouping criteria, the spatial points (23, 24, 25, 26) are combined into groups (28, 29, 30, 35, 37, 38) in such a way that the groups (28, 29, 30, 35, 37, 38) are each assigned to an object located in the vicinity of the vehicle (1), wherein over at least two measuring cycles, a change in a relative position of at least one of the groups (28, 29, 30, 35, 37, 38) with respect of the vehicle (1) is detected and the driver is warned depending on this change. A corresponding driver assistance device (2) is also provided.
