Abstract

A method for operating at least one vehicle relative to at least one passable object in a surrounding area of the at least one vehicle includes inputting map data values from a map, the map data values including the at least one passable object in the form of first object data values; recording surrounding area data values, which represent the surrounding area of the at least one vehicle and include the at least one passable object in the form of second object data values; reconciling the input map data values with the recorded surrounding area data values in accordance with predefined first comparison criteria; and operating the at least one vehicle as a function of the reconciliation of the data values.
