Method and device for Recognising and adjusting left-hand or right hand driving

Relative speed of another vehicle (3) and stationary objects (5) detected is fed to an adaptive distance and speed control unit along with staggered gaps (q1-q3) at the side between detected objects regarding the vehicle's longitudinal axis as well as the speed (V) of the vehicle itself (1). An independent claim is also included for a device for automatically recognizing and adjusting traffic direction.
