Method for operating a vehicle, wherein the vehicle has a trip information determination device that is used to continuously determine at least the current position of the moving vehicle as current trip information, wherein a driving strategy determination device (33; 57) is provided and is initially used to detect whether there is a bend ahead of the vehicle in the direction of travel on the basis of the trip information and on the basis of map data stored in a storage device (37; 59) wherein, if a bend is detected by means of the driving strategy determination device (33; 57), the driving strategy determination device (33; 57) is used to determine an optimum driving strategy for driving through the bend on the basis of stored and/or determined bend information and on the basis of vehicle information, wherein, in order to comply with the determined driving strategy, at least one vehicle component of the vehicle is controlled by means of a control unit of the vehicle, and wherein, in order to comply with the determined optimum driving strategy, at least one drive component of the vehicle is automatically controlled by means of a control unit of the vehicle , wherein provision is made for the at least one drive component to be formed by an internal combustion engine of the vehicle and/or by a vehicle transmission and/or by an electric machine of the vehicle , characterized in that the optimum driving strategy is determined on the basis of experience data, stored in the on-board storage device , for driving through at least one bend, in particular the detected bend and/or at least one bend with an identical or similar bend profile, with the vehicle as bend information by means of the on-board driving strategy determination device , in particular the driving strategy determination device formed by a control unit of the vehicle. wherein a driving strategy determination device (33; 57) is provided and is initially used to detect whether there is a bend ahead of the vehicle in the direction of travel on the basis of the trip information and on the basis of map data stored in a storage device (37; 59) wherein, if a bend is detected by means of the driving strategy determination device (33; 57), the driving strategy determination device (33; 57) is used to determine an optimum driving strategy for driving through the bend on the basis of stored and/or determined bend information and on the basis of vehicle information, wherein, in order to comply with the determined driving strategy, at least one vehicle component of the vehicle is controlled by means of a control unit of the vehicle, and wherein, in order to comply with the determined optimum driving strategy, at least one drive component of the vehicle is automatically controlled by means of a control unit of the vehicle , wherein provision is made for the at least one drive component to be formed by an internal combustion engine of the vehicle and/or by a vehicle transmission and/or by an electric machine of the vehicle , characterized in that the optimum driving strategy is determined on the basis of experience data, stored in the on-board storage device , for driving through at least one bend, in particular the detected bend and/or at least one bend with an identical or similar bend profile, with the vehicle as bend information by means of the on-board driving strategy determination device , in particular the driving strategy determination device formed by a control unit of the vehicle. <EOS>
