Abstract
A method for automatically controlling a vehicle based on a driving specification received from an external infrastructure. In a normal mode the vehicle is controlled along a trajectory specified thereby and in a test mode the vehicle is controlled along a test trajectory that deviates from the trajectory specified by the driving specification, and/or is controlled using test parameters. This allows the reliable operation of the infrastructure to be verified.
