1. A method for the operation of a motor vehicle with a remotely controlled parking assistant, the method comprising:
initiating, by an external control unit, a parking operation of the motor vehicle;
receiving, by the remotely controlled parking assistant, first status data indicative of a first failure of one or more components of the motor vehicle associated with parking operation;
determining, based on the first status data, that the first failure is temporary and can be mitigated;
outputting, based on determining that the first failure is temporary, first control data that causes a temporary ceasing of the parking operation;
outputting information data to a device of a driver of the motor vehicle, the information data being indicative of the first failure;
receiving second status data, the second status data indicative that the first failure is resolved;
outputting, based on the second status data, second control data that causes the parking operation to resume;
receiving, by the remotely controlled parking assistant, third status data indicative of a second failure of the one or more components of the motor vehicle associated with parking operation;
determining, based on the third status data, that the second failure is a permanent failure; and
outputting, based on the third status data, third control data that causes a permanent ceasing of the parking operation.
