Method for controlling lane change, electronic device, and storage medium

Disclosed are a method for controlling lane change, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: obtaining visual information of a surrounding environment; determining boundary data of free space of a current vehicle based on the visual information; determining information about a vehicle running side by side on at least one side of the current vehicle based on the boundary data of free space; determining lane change information based on the information about the vehicle running side by side; and controlling a driving status of the current vehicle based on the lane change information. The method can provide an accurate and reliable basis for a lane change control decision of the vehicle, so as to avoid potential safety hazards to a lane change caused by missing recognition of a vehicle running side by side, thereby improving reliability and safety of an automatic lane change function of the vehicle.
