1. A method for controlling a motor vehicle, comprising the following steps:
using a wireless communication interface of an infrastructure-side system of an infrastructure of a parking lot and a wireless communication interface of a motor-vehicle-side system of a first motor vehicle, communicating by the infrastructure-side system with the motor-vehicle-side system of the first motor vehicle, with which communication the infrastructure-side system agrees on a common secret with the motor-vehicle-side system;
ascertaining a first code based on the common secret using a predetermined ascertainment rule by the infrastructure-side system;
detecting, by the infrastructure-side system, light flashes emitted from a driving direction indicator of a motor vehicle lighting system, the emission occurring at a location that is within the parking lot and the detection being performed using an environmental sensor of or communicatively coupled to the infrastructure-side system;
processing, by the infrastructure-side system, the light flashes to obtain a second code represented by the light flashes;
comparing, by the infrastructure-side system, the second code to the first code to identify that the light flashes were emitted by the first motor vehicle with the motor-vehicle-side system of which the common secret had been agreed; and
based on the identification, performing, by the infrastructure-side system, a wireless control communication with the motor-vehicle-side system via the wireless communication interfaces of the infrastructure-side system and the motor-vehicle-side system by which the infrastructure-side system remotely controls the first motor vehicle to perform an automated drive from a start position corresponding to the location at which the emission occurred to a target location of the parking lot.
