Abstract
A method for operating an autonomously driving vehicle includes operating the vehicle in a first autonomous driving mode by means of a controller device based on sensor data captured by a sensor system of the vehicle, determining, from environmental data which includes at least the sensor data, presence of a handover condition at a handover location within a planned trajectory of the vehicle, establishing a data communication to a leading vehicle being operated in an autonomous driving mode to travel along a leading trajectory including the handover location, and operating the vehicle in a second autonomous driving mode based at least partially on first auxiliary data provided by the leading vehicle.
