摘要

Method for distance measurement, in which a distance (D1) of a first vehicle (10) to a second vehicle (12) traveling in front of the first vehicle (10) is determined, in the wake of receiving autonomous information (AI) from outside the first vehicle (10) which is representative of whether the first vehicle (10) is operated autonomously or non-autonomously, depending on the autonomous information (AI), an autonomous characteristic value (AI) ( AKW) is determined, which is representative of whether the first vehicle (10) was recognized as autonomous or non-autonomous, - A distance threshold value (AS) is determined as a function of the autonomous characteristic value (AKW) in such a way that if the first vehicle (10) was detected as autonomous, the distance threshold value (AS) is smaller than if the first vehicle (10) as was not detected autonomously, - It is determined whether the determined distance (D1) is smaller than the determined distance threshold value (AS) and - If the determined distance (D1) is smaller than the determined distance threshold value (AS), information (I) is stored for this purpose.
