The method includes the implementation of a control law for regulating the distance which calculates, for a plurality of possible combinations of speeds of movement of the following vehicle and the target vehicle, potential setpoint distances, and, for a given combination of speeds of movement of the following and target vehicles, from the plurality of possible combinations, the determination of a final setpoint distance among the potential setpoint distances previously calculated by the control law.
