Abstract
Apparatus for automatic transverse vehicle guidance is provided for the automatic transverse guidance of a vehicle along a traffic lane. The apparatus can be activated in such a way using an activating actuation of an operating element that the actual transverse-position value present at the activation instant serves as a desired transverse-position value for subsequent automatic transverse guidance operation.
