Driver Assistance System and Method for Automated Driving Comprising Automated Longitudinal Guidance

A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle for automated driving includes automated longitudinal guidance, wherein, when automated longitudinal guidance is active in an automatic mode, automated longitudinal guidance is initiated in consideration of a predefinable setpoint speed. The system has a first detection unit, designed to detect a traffic situation in which the vehicle is located on a multi-lane road in a non-passing lane relative to an additional traffic participant detected in an adjacent lane; a second detection unit, designed to detect a defined road class of the road currently being traveled; a third detection unit, designed to detect a defined separate lane of the road currently being traveled; and an evaluation and control unit, which is designed, when automated longitudinal guidance is active, depending on the detected road class and a detected separate travel lane, to allow or to prevent an overtaking of the additional traffic participant detected in the adjacent lane, in the non-passing lane.
