1. A driver assistance system of a vehicle, comprising:
a controller communicatively coupled to a display unit that displays a display trajectory,
wherein the controller is configured to, during a transit of the vehicle along a trajectory corresponding to the display trajectory:
determine that the vehicle, starting from an actual position, is approaching a proximity region of the trajectory in which a plurality of different segments of the trajectory intersect, overlap and/or converge on one another,
ascertain at least one relevant segment from the plurality of segments that, starting from the actual position of the vehicle, is relevant to the transit, and
cause the display unit to highlight the relevant segment in the display trajectory compared with one or more other segments from the plurality of segments.
