Abstract

A driver assistance system assists a driver of a motor vehicle in driving along a trajectory by displaying the trajectory on a display unit. It is identified that the vehicle is approaching a proximity region of the trajectory starting from an actual position on the basis of the fact that a plurality of different segments of the trajectory intersect, are superimposed and/or approach one another. t least one relevant segment which is relevant for the journey starting from the actual position of the vehicle is determined from the plurality of segments. The relevant segment in the display trajectory is highlighted on the display unit relative to one or more other segments of the plurality of segments.
