1. A computer implemented method for determining a reliability level of data received by an ego vehicle from a target vehicle being different from the ego vehicle and arranged in a vicinity of the ego vehicle, the ego vehicle comprising a control unit, wherein the method comprises:
receiving, at the control unit and using wireless communication, a first set of operational data relating to the target vehicle,
determining, by the control unit, a second set of operational data relating to the target vehicle using a first sensor comprised with the ego vehicle,
determining, by the control unit, a difference between the first set of operational data and the second set of operational data,
determining, by the control unit, the reliability level based on the determined difference and a predetermined model indicative of an expected behavior of the first and the second set of operational data, and
applying, by the control unit, the determined reliability level as a weight for the first set of operational data when operating the ego vehicle, wherein data having a lower reliability level is given a lower weight compared to data having a higher reliability level.
