Claim 4:
5. A system for creating a semantic representation of the environment of a vehicle, the system comprising at least one first and/or second environment detection sensor for acquiring sensor measuring data and a data processing device, wherein the data processing device is configured to:
analyze the acquired sensor measuring data and to detect objects and free spaces,
create a grid map having grid cells based on the detected objects and free spaces,
determine height information of the detected objects and free spaces from the sensor data of the first and/or second environment detection sensor,
add the height information of the detected objects and free spaces to the grid cells, and
allocate semantic information to the grid cells based on the height information of the detected objects and free spaces,
wherein the semantic information is selected from negative height, free space, a detected object that can be driven over conditionally, and/or the detected object that can be driven under, and
wherein the grid map is extended by corresponding layers based on the semantic information.
