Abstract

A method for carrying out an automatic drive of a vehicle along a provided trajectory which provides at least one stored trajectory for a current position of the vehicle, selects one of the provided trajectories, and carries out an automatic drive of the vehicle. A control of the vehicle provides signals for a transverse control and a longitudinal control to control the vehicle along the selected trajectory based on detected surroundings data. At least one piece of additional information is detected or received, and the selection process is additionally carried out based on the at least one piece of additional information. Also disclosed is a corresponding device.
