Abstract

A method for ascertaining a spatial orientation of a trailer of an autonomously driving towing vehicle with trailer. In the method, sensor data of a plurality of different sensor types are processed, so that the trailer and objects in the environment are identified in the sensor data, the sensor data communicated by the various sensor types and processed in this way being combined with one another, and the movement path of the trailer relative to the objects in the environment being determined on the basis of these combined sensor data.
