Abstract
A control system for an ego-vehicle traveling in a first direction in a first lane on a road segment where the vehicle has a driver support function for autonomously maneuvering the vehicle. The control system includes control circuitry configured to obtain sensor data including information about a surrounding environment of the vehicle. The control circuitry determines a relative velocity of at least one external vehicle traveling in a second lane adjacent to the first lane based on the obtained sensor data. Moreover, the control circuitry is configured to generate a control signal in to control an availability of the driver support function for the road segment based on the comparison in order to make the driver support function available for an occupant of the vehicle if at least one external vehicle of the external vehicle(s) has been confirmed to have a relative velocity below the maximum velocity threshold.
