Abstract

A planned navigation route of a first motor vehicle is established as a reference navigation route. A second motor vehicle having a planned navigation route which satisfies a prespecified synchronization condition is selected, and a route length of the navigation route of the second motor vehicle is scaled to a route length of the reference navigation route. A route section of the reference navigation route is identified as a synchronizable route section, the route section satisfying a prespecified homogeneity criterion, and a route section of the scaled navigation route is assigned to the synchronizable route section. When the first motor vehicle is on the synchronizable route section and when the second motor vehicle is on the route section of the scaled navigation route assigned to the synchronizable route section, the provided output content which describes an avatar for the second motor vehicle is changed.
