Abstract

Technologies and techniques for the lateral control of a vehicle. Environment data of a vehicle is detected when travelling a route, and stored environment data, detected when travelling the route by a plurality of other vehicles not currently travelling the route, is received. The plausibility of the stored environment data is checked on the basis of the environment data detected. Lateral control of the vehicle is executed on the basis of the environment data checked for plausibility.
