Abstract

A method for detecting map errors includes the following method steps: A first and a second locating map are provided. Features detectable with the aid of a first surroundings sensor of a vehicle are recorded in the first locating map. Features detectable with the aid of a second surroundings sensor of the vehicle are recorded in the second locating map. At least one comparison feature recorded in the first and second locating maps is selected. At least one comparison variable is ascertained on the basis of a first pose of the comparison feature on the first locating map and a second pose of the comparison feature on the second locating map. A map error is established if the comparison variable exceeds a specified threshold value.
