Abstract

A driving assistance system for automated driving of a vehicle includes at least one processor unit, which is designed to perform the following when the driving assistance system is carrying out a maneuver of turning onto a street: to determine, on the basis of environment data of an environment sensor system of the vehicle, whether another, on-coming road user is blocking a lane of the street which corresponds to the vehicle; and when it is determined that the other road user is blocking the lane of the street which corresponds to the vehicle to carry out a situation evaluation in order to determine whether the vehicle should back up in order to allow the other road user to exit the street or whether the other road user should be requested to clear the lane by backing up.
