1. A method for executing a lane change from a driving lane onto a deceleration lane of a roadway, wherein the deceleration lane is configured to facilitate vehicle exit from the roadway, via an assistance system of a motor vehicle, the assistance system comprising a memory, a lane change actuating device, an electronic computing device, and a sensor system, comprising:
receiving, via the lane change actuating device, a driver-initiated signal indicating a desired future lane change onto the deceleration lane;
accessing, via the memory, or receiving, via a wireless communication apparatus operatively coupled to the assistance system, swarm data comprising data relating to at least one past lane change into the deceleration lane at a crossing position by at least one further motor vehicle;
determining, via the electronic computing device, a change position for the lane change of the motor vehicle by processing the received or accessed swarm data, including the crossing position of the at least one further motor vehicle, in conjunction with dynamically updated data associated with the motor vehicle, including the current speed of the motor vehicle and environmental conditions wherein the change position is determined by the assistance system independently of the position of the motor vehicle at the time of the driver-initiated signal; and
executing an at least partially assisted lane change using the driver assistance system according to the determined change position.
