1. A method for determining a lane change indication of a vehicle, comprising:
loading a lane change model and position data of the vehicle, wherein
the position data indicate a distance between the vehicle and a lane center of a lane of a roadway on which the vehicle is currently located, and
the lane change model is configured as a convolutional neural network; and
determining a lane change indication, wherein
the determination is performed using the position data and the lane change model, and
the determination comprises detecting a point of discontinuity in the distance between the vehicle and the lane center of the lane of the roadway.
