Claim 8:
9. A system for determining a swarm-based stopping point for a motor vehicle for a predefined reason for stopping in a driving lane on a roadway, comprising: communications circuitry; a storage apparatus; and a processing device, wherein the storage apparatus and processing device are configured to determine individual stopping points along two dimensions for a plurality of vehicles, wherein the individual stopping points each comprise a position tolerance defining a stopping region for the individual stopping point; determine one of a plurality of reasons for stopping in the driving lane for each of the individual stopping points, based on image data; determine a distribution of the individual stopping points in the driving lane, at least in the direction of travel towards the determined individual stopping points for the vehicles; generate a swarm-based stopping point (i) based on a maximum of the distribution, and (ii) as a function of the determined reason for stopping; and apply the generated swarm-based stopping point for the motor vehicle.
