Abstract
A self-controlling vehicle, designed for the autonomous movement in an area, is disclosed. The self-controlling vehicle includes driving means for movement and navigation means, wherein the navigation means are designed for the position determination along a closed path surrounding an operating space of the area. The navigation means are designed for creating successive path sectional data, the path sectional data for route sections of the path has assigned orientation information, in particular angle information, and the navigation means are assigned with autocorrelation means, which are designed such that they determine from a sequence of path sectional data corresponding to a movement along the path by determining auto correlation data whether and/or that the vehicle has driven completely along the surrounding path and/or a sequence of route sections already driven is driven again.
