This ensures that the subsequent vehicle has reduced most of its differential speed and only then unlocks its own vehicle to the remaining traffic jam, so that in driving situations with small distances and only low differential speeds are driven. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the automatically controlled longitudinal dynamics

- the own vehicle is slowed down thereby continuously and comfortably in the speed.
- the disadvantage here is that the automatically guided vehicle is the last vehicle in the traffic jam situation and another vehicle can almost unrestrained approach the congestion situation. If that vehicle does not initiate a stop maneuver or emergency stop maneuver, it may be that there is a collision, which can cause serious damage due to lack of distance before the longitudinally-dynamically controlled vehicle.

Due to the traffic congestion, 7 additional vehicles 8 are shown next to and in front of the preceding vehicle. The other vehicles 8 and the preceding vehicle 7 move here by means of only a low speed, due to the
- Traffic congestion is given and is exemplified with vl.
- the ego vehicle 2 traveling at the speed vO has a higher speed due to the circumstance v0> vl and has to decelerate before the jam end and reduce its own speed vO.
- a following vehicle 9 moves, which moves at a speed v2 and follows the ego vehicle 2. Due to the traffic jam situation in which the vehicle 7 in front and the other vehicles 8 are already located, the ego vehicle 2 and the following vehicle 9 must be braked with the least possible collision risk.

- the vehicle 7 approaches the ego vehicle 2 at the speed vO and has fallen below the minimum distance dl, since it unlocks the preceding vehicle 7 in this phase.
- the following vehicle 9 follows the ego vehicle 2 at a distance d that is less than the second distance value d2. Should there be a collision during this stopping maneuver, the distances between the vehicles are sufficiently large to avoid billiards and the

If the busy road is clear and the first sensor 3 has not detected a preceding vehicle 7, then step 21 branches back and checks as long as there are any preceding vehicles 7 until it has been detected positively. In the case that in step 21 a
