Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method of providing a current local environment status map for a motor vehicle, and to a motor vehicle and a system for carrying out the method. The method includes generating own driving situation data which describe a current, position-related vehicle parameter of the motor vehicle, and generating environment situation data which describe a current arrangement of a further motor vehicle located in a predefined environment of the motor vehicle. The method also includes generating, based on these data, a vehicle environment map which describes a current local traffic situation in the predefined environment. The further vehicle environment maps of the environment of the vehicle are received from the further motor vehicle and are combined with the generated vehicle environment map using a map data evaluation criterion in order to generate an improved current local environment status map for the motor vehicle.
