Abstract
A method includes a plurality of first motor vehicles traveling along a section of a street in the same direction of travel; scanning of a right side of the street by a first sensor directed laterally to the right, and a left side of the street by a second sensor directed laterally to the left on each first motor vehicle; determining right parking spaces on the right side of the street based on data from the first sensor and left parking spaces on the left side of the street based on data from the second sensor; ascertaining a confidence value based on a first accumulation with which right parking spaces were determined in the section, and based on a second accumulation with which left parking spaces were determined in the section; and assigning the confidence value to the section and to the direction of travel.
