1. A method for determining a source of danger on a roadway in a detection area in front of or behind a vehicle, with the aid of a camera of the vehicle, in which with the aid of the camera an image of the detection area is captured, the method comprising:
generating image data corresponding to the image;
determining a first image area of the image with the aid of the image data using a neural network, the first image area corresponding to substantially only the roadway in the detection area specifically designed for vehicle traffic; and
determining a second image area of the image with the aid of the first image area using the neural network or a further neural network, the second image area corresponding to the source of danger on the roadway in the detection area.
