1. A method for determining a driving maneuver of a vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving vehicle parameters generated by a vehicle parameter acquisition module of a first vehicle;
determining at least one possible driving maneuver via a driving maneuver planning module based on the vehicle parameters received, an evaluation variable, and first knowledge data for one or more second vehicles that includes data characterizing an executed driving maneuver by the one or more second vehicles with respect to the first vehicle, the at least one possible driving maneuver being determined by means of at least one decision-making submodule of the driving maneuver planning module;
transmitting a driving maneuver selected from the at least one possible driving maneuver from the driving maneuver planning module to a motion planning module of the first vehicle;
generating the evaluation variable via the driving maneuver planning module based on at least one previously executed driving maneuver by the first vehicle;
controlling via the motion planning module the first vehicle to execute a driving maneuver corresponding to the at least one possible driving maneuver with respect to the one or more second vehicles; and
transmitting second knowledge data comprised of at least the vehicle parameters, the executed driving maneuver of the first vehicle, and/or the evaluation variable from the first vehicle to a driving maneuver planning module of the one or more second vehicles to allow a decision-making submodule of the one or more second vehicles to adapt and execute a driving a maneuver of the one or more second vehicles in response to the executed driving maneuver of the first vehicle.
