1. A method for detecting autonomously operated vehicles, the method comprising the acts of:

  • sensing a motion trajectory of a first vehicle via a sensor unit located outside the first vehicle;

    determining an autonomy characteristic value via a processor as a function of the motion trajectory of a single vehicle, wherein the single vehicle is the first vehicle, the autonomy characteristic value representative of whether the first vehicle is being operated autonomously or non-autonomously; and

    controlling a distance of a third vehicle from the first vehicle based on the autonomy characteristic value.
