Method for laterally controlling a motor vehicle on a road having two lanes and motor vehicle

A motor vehicle, configured for lateral control on a road, comprising:

• sensors for providing sensor data;
• communications for receiving swarm data;
• an electronic computing device, operatively coupled to the sensors and communications, the electronic computing device being configured to facilitate lateral control of the motor vehicle;
• and
• a processing apparatus, operatively coupled to the electronic computing device, communications and the sensors, wherein the processing apparatus is configured to assign lane type to a roadway marking on a driver's side of the motor vehicle using sensor data, wherein the lane type characterizes whether the roadway marking is (i) assigned to an ego lane of the motor vehicle, or (ii) assigned to a neighboring lane adjacent to the ego lane;
• assign the lane type to the roadway marking using the swarm data;
• determine that the assigned lane type using sensor data and the assigned lane type using swarm data diverge;
• establish the lane type to the roadway marking on the driver's side of the motor vehicle as a function of the swarm data, based on the divergence;
• and
• laterally control the motor vehicle via the electronic computing device in an assisted manner as a function of the established lane type of the roadway marking that is assigned to the driver's side of the motor vehicle.
