Abstract

A method and a first apparatus for furnishing a signal for operating at least two vehicles along a first trajectory, having a step of ascertaining first environmental data values by way of at least one sensor of the at least two vehicles, the first environmental data values representing a first environment of the at least two vehicles; and a step of ascertaining second environmental data values from an external server, the second environmental data values representing a second environment, dependent on the first trajectory, of the at least two vehicles, the first environment being encompassed by the second environment. The method furthermore encompasses a step of determining data values on the basis of the first and second environmental data values, and a step of furnishing a signal, on the basis of the determined data values, for operating the at least two vehicles.
