A method for determining the float angle of a motor vehicle is described,
a yaw sensor determining the yaw rate of the motor vehicle. According to
this method, the direction of the velocity in the center of gravity of
the vehicle in particular is determined by a frequency analysis of the
signals received by a GPS receiver located in the motor vehicle, and the
float angle is determined as a function of at least the yaw rate and the
direction of the velocity of the motor vehicle.
