1. A method for driving autonomously out of a parked position by a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
a) detecting an unlock-signal for unlocking a central locking system of a first vehicle parked at a first position by a second vehicle parked at a second position;
b) determining whether said first and second vehicle are parked parallelly and directly next to each other in response to said unlock-signal;
c) when said first and second vehicle are parked parallelly and directly next to each, driving the second vehicle autonomously at least partly out of the second position, thereby allowing a driver of the first vehicle to enter the first vehicle and to drive the first vehicle at least partly out of said first position;
d) determining whether the first vehicle has left at least partly said first position; and,
e) when the first vehicle has left at least partly said first position, driving the second vehicle autonomously back in said second position.
