METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE AND MOTOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for operating a first motor vehicle traveling on a roadway in a first direction of travel, comprising:
- determining data of the roadway in an area of the first motor vehicle, the determining comprises determining a number of lanes of the roadway;
determining a lane of the roadway in which the first motor vehicle is located with a least one optical camera of the first motor vehicle if the number of lanes is ≧
2;
determining whether a second motor vehicle is traveling in the lane in which the first motor vehicle is located in a direction of travel opposite the first direction of travel with a first determination apparatus of the first motor vehicle; and
performing an action if the second motor vehicle is traveling is traveling in the lane in which the first motor vehicle is located in the direction of travel opposite the first direction of travel.

Abstract
A method is provided for operating a motor vehicle traveling on a roadway. The method includes, but is not limited to determining data of the roadway in the area, which includes determining a number n of lanes. If it is determined that n≧2, it is determined whether a lane in which the vehicle is located with data of an optical camera of the motor vehicle. In addition, it is determined whether a second motor vehicle is traveling in the lane, in which the motor vehicle is located, in a direction of travel opposite a first direction of travel with a determination apparatus of the motor vehicle. If a second motor vehicle is determined, a warning message and/or automatic actuation is generated from an apparatus of the motor vehicle, (e.g, a braking apparatus, a drive apparatus, or a steering apparatus).
