Abstract

A method for controlling in an automated manner a motor vehicle (10) traveling on a road (12) in a current lane (14) is suggested, wherein the road (12) has at least one further lane (16). The method comprises the following steps: At least two preliminary driving maneuvers are generated and/or received, which include a lane change from the current lane (14) to the at least one further lane (16) and a starting time of the lane change. The starting times of the at least two preliminary driving maneuvers are at different times. The at least two driving maneuvers are compared taking into account the respective starting times. One of the starting times is selected based on the comparison. Further, a control device for a system for controlling a motor vehicle is also suggested.
