1. A method for providing automated lane guidance using a lane-keeping system of a vehicle having at least one surround sensor, the method comprising:

  • reading in by the lane-keeping system, from a sensor signal from the at least one surround sensor, an obstacle-extension area of a visibility obstacle, caused by at least one vehicle driving in front, transversely to a course of a traffic lane in which the vehicle is to travel;

    determining, by the lane-keeping system, a lane-adaptation parameter as a function of the read-in obstacle-extension area and a vehicle-extension area transversely to the course of the traffic lane in which the vehicle is to travel, the lane-adaptation parameter being determined so that the lane-keeping system when using the lane-adaptation parameter is set up to reduce an overlap of the obstacle-extension area and the vehicle-extension area; and

    providing, by the lane-keeping system, automated lane guidance of the vehicle using the lane-adaptation parameter to reduce an overlap of the obstacle-extension area and the vehicle-extension area.
