Abstract
A method for operating a first vehicle which is a driverless ego vehicle. The method includes performing a situation analysis in the driverless ego vehicle to identify an overtaking maneuver that is being carried out by a second vehicle in which the second vehicle can no longer be expected to avoid a collision with the driverless ego vehicle and/or with a third vehicle. When the overtaking maneuver is identified, a strategy is determined for avoiding or reducing a consequence of a collision in the driverless ego vehicle depending on whether it has been identified in the situation analysis that at least one of the driverless ego vehicle, the second vehicle, and the third vehicle is manned.
