Abstract

Technologies and techniques for determining a cluster-based stopping point for a motor vehicle for a predefined reason for stopping in a lane of a road. The individual stopping points of a plurality of vehicles may be determined for the reason for stopping in the lane, wherein the vehicles are controlled by individual drivers. A distribution of the individual stopping points in the lane at least in the direction of travel of the vehicles may be determined. The maximum of the distribution may be determined and stored as a cluster-based stopping point. The cluster-based stopping point determined in this way may be applied to autonomous driving technologies.
