1. A method for laterally controlling a motor vehicle on a road, comprising:
assigning a lane type to a roadway marking on a driver's side of the motor vehicle using sensor data, wherein the lane type characterizes whether the roadway marking is (i) assigned to an ego lane of the motor vehicle, or (ii) assigned to a neighboring lane adjacent to the ego lane;
assigning the lane type to the roadway marking using swarm data;
determining that the assigned lane type using sensor data and the assigned lane type using swarm data diverge;
establishing the lane type to the roadway marking on the driver's side of the motor vehicle as a function of the swarm data, based on the divergence;
laterally controlling the motor vehicle via an electronic computing device in an assisted manner as a function of the established lane type of the roadway marking that is assigned to the driver's side of the motor vehicle.
