Abstract
A method for operating a vehicle, in particular, a vehicle for highly automated driving. The method includes a step of reading in input data. The input data include sensor data and sensor state data of a multitude of sensor units of vehicle. The method also includes a step of generating a potential field, using the input data. The input data are used as attractive potentials and repulsive potentials of the potential field. The method furthermore includes a step of determining a trajectory through the potential field in order to generate a fusion signal, using the trajectory, for fusing the input data for a sensor data fusion for a highly automated driving operation of the vehicle.
