Abstract
A method for assisting a user of a vehicle during automated lateral guidance of the vehicle on a road having multiple lanes is provided. The method includes receiving satellite-based position data describing a position of the vehicle; determining map-based lane tracking data describing a future desired movement of the vehicle relative to the lanes based on the satellite-based position data and high-resolution map data; receiving sensor data from at least one environment sensor of the vehicle, the sensor data describing boundaries of the lanes; determining sensor-based lane tracking data describing a future desired movement of the vehicle relative to the lanes based on the sensor data; comparing the map-based lane tracking data and the sensor-based lane tracking data; and controlling an output device for outputting a takeover request to the user based on a result of the comparison.
