Abstract

A method for vehicle control. The method includes a step of reading in a camera signal, a step of executing a semantic segmentation, and a step of ascertaining a control signal. The camera signal represents an optically detected image of a roadway to be driven by a vehicle. In the step of executing, the semantic segmentation of the image represented by the camera signal is executed, to detect a free area ahead of the vehicle from the image as a drivable road section. In addition, a roadway signal representing the detected drivable road section is provided. In the step of ascertaining, the control signal for activating at least one vehicle component is ascertained, using the roadway signal.
