Claim 0:
1. A method for controlling a second motor vehicle based on an assessed quality of a map data for a predetermined route traveled by a first motor vehicle, the first motor vehicle comprising a positioning device and a wireless communication device, the method comprising the following steps:
recording a first trajectory via the positioning device of the first motor vehicle while traveling the predetermined route,
wherein the first trajectory comprises a number of positions of the first motor vehicle while traveling the predetermined route,
wherein each position of the number of positions is detected by the positioning device of the first motor vehicle;

determining a course of the predetermined route on the basis of the map data;
determining a density of the number of positions of the first trajectory along the predetermined route;
determining a strength of a curvature of the first trajectory along the predetermined route;
determining the quality to which the first trajectory and the course correspond,
wherein the quality increases as the density of the number of positions of the first trajectory increases, and
wherein the quality decreases as the strength of the curvature of the predetermined route increases compared to the density of the number of positions of the first trajectory along the predetermined route; and

transmitting the quality of the map data for the predetermined route to the second motor vehicle via the wireless communication device,
controlling the second motor vehicle along a second trajectory via an apparatus, wherein the second trajectory is based on the quality of the map data for the predetermined route that is received from the first motor vehicle.
