Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A non-transitory computer readable medium on which are stored instructions that are executable by a processor and that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method for operating a vehicle, the method comprising:
obtaining a digital map;
obtaining a sensor-based position of the vehicle;
determining an instantaneous vehicle position in the digital map based on the obtained sensor-based position;
obtaining an expected setpoint traffic density that is assigned to the instantaneous vehicle position in the digital map;
using an environmental sensor to obtain an instantaneous actual traffic density in surroundings of the vehicle;
comparing the obtained instantaneous actual traffic density to the obtained expected setpoint traffic density, thereby obtaining a difference value; and
in response to the difference value being greater than a predefined threshold, re-determining the instantaneous vehicle position in the digital map to control an automated drive of the vehicle based on the re-determined instantaneous vehicle position.
