1. The method for location-dependent verification of a teleoperator for remote control of a vehicle, wherein at its current location, the vehicle repeatedly and automatedly performs the following steps:
receiving, from the teleoperator, during remote control by the teleoperator, a response message requested via a network;
ascertaining a current value of at least one network-dependent property of the received response message;
determining a target value of the at least one network-dependent property;
verifying the teleoperator using a check of the current value of the at least one network-dependent property and of the determined target value based on a test condition, wherein, in the case of a positive test result of the check, the teleoperator is authorized to perform the remote control of the vehicle, and in the case of a negative test result of the check, the vehicle terminates the remote control and/or sends a safety warning;
wherein after the ascertainment of the current value of the at least one network-dependent property, the following step is performed:
adjusting the current value using a model based on at least one network-dependent parameter, wherein the current value is adjusted by a correction value as a function of an occurrence of the at least one network-dependent parameter; and
wherein the current location of the vehicle is in a region, and the network-dependent parameter comprises a current local network utilization in the region, wherein the current value is adjusted by increasing or reducing the ascertained current value by the correction value.
