1. A method for detecting movements of a vehicle body of a first motor vehicle, the method comprising:
recording image and sensor data by means of an image and sensor device of a second motor vehicle, the image and sensor data representing a part of an environment of the second motor vehicle that contains at least the first motor vehicle, the image and sensor device recording both lateral and vertical movements of the vehicle body of the first motor vehicle and acoustic signals of the first motor vehicle;
forwarding the image and sensor data to a data analysis device that comprises a detection system for detecting the lateral and vertical movements of the vehicle body of the first motor vehicle and the acoustic signals of the first motor vehicle, the detection system using artificial intelligence algorithms and machine image analysis;
processing the image and sensor data in the detection system of the data analysis device to classify lateral and vertical movements of the vehicle body of the first motor vehicle and the acoustic signals of the first motor vehicle;
assigning the classified movements and the acoustic signals of the vehicle body to at least one state from a set of defined states; and
generating output data from the determined state and using the output data to carry out an automated driving function of the second motor vehicle and/or for output at a user interface of the second motor vehicle.
