Claim:
1. A method for detecting a position of a vehicle on a lane, the method comprising: reading in one first image of a first camera having a first optical axis and of at least one second image of at least one second camera having a second optical axis, the first camera and the second camera being oriented so that the first optical axis and the second optical axis intersect outside of the detection angle of the first camera and/or the second camera, wherein the first image and at least the second image each enclose a viewing angle which deviates by an angle of 90 degrees maximum from a driving direction of the vehicle; determining at least one interlinked image gradient in the first image and at least one additional interlinked image gradient in the at least second image; assigning the at least one interlinked image gradient to a roadway boundary object and the at least one additional interlinked image gradient to the roadway boundary object and/or to an additional roadway boundary object; and ascertaining a relative position of the vehicle to the roadway boundary object and/or the additional roadway boundary object to detect the position of the vehicle on the lane.
