Abstract

A method for controlling a vehicle system of a vehicle which is equipped to carry out an automated driving operation involves localizing the vehicle and approving the vehicle system for activation depending on a result of the localization. The vehicle is localized with at least two different localization methods. The at least two localization methods include at least one landmark-based localization method and one localization method based on at least one global navigation satellite system. The vehicle system is only approved for activation if it is confirmed with each of the applied localization methods that the vehicle is located on a route section approved for automated driving operation.
