Abstract

A method controls a driving operation of an autonomously controlled vehicle. The vehicle has an angular velocity sensor for controlling the vehicle's lateral positioning along an operated road path during a loss of location situation. The method obtains a signal indicative of a characteristic of a road path for operation of the vehicle determining an uncertainty parameter value of the angular velocity sensor for an upcoming position of the road path ahead of the vehicle; and controls the vehicle to a stand-still operation at a stop position, prior to arrival at the upcoming position, along the road path for calibration of the angular velocity sensor when the uncertainty parameter value indicates an unacceptable uncertainty in lateral deviation of the vehicle at the upcoming position.
