Abstract

Technologies and techniques for laterally controlling a motor vehicle on a road, where a roadway marking assigned to a driver's side of the motor vehicle is assigned to a lane type based on sensor data. The lane type characterizes whether the roadway marking is assigned to an ego lane on which the motor vehicle is to be guided, or whether it is assigned to a neighboring lane adjacent to the ego lane. The roadway marking is also assigned to the lane type, based on swarm data, and the lane type assigned to the roadway marking is established as the lane type that is determined as a function of the swarm data when the sensor lane type and the swarm data lane type diverge. The motor vehicle is laterally controlled as a function of the established lane type of the roadway marking assigned to the driver's side of the motor vehicle.
