Abstract
In a regular mode of automated driving operation a vehicle is guided to a target position by a main control device and in an emergency mode the vehicle is guided along an intended emergency trajectory into a safe stopping position by an auxiliary control device. The intended emergency trajectory is continuously determined by the main control device in the regular mode and is stored in the auxiliary control device, with a lane course of a lane lying ahead of the vehicle. In the emergency mode, the stored intended emergency operation trajectory is corrected based on the stored lane course and a lane course of the lane of the vehicle continuously determined in the emergency mode. The correction is only undertaken if the continuously determined lane course has previously been evaluated as plausible, the plausibility being checked based on a determined deviation between the stored lane course and the continuously determined lane course.
