1. A method comprising the following steps being performed during a drive of a first vehicle and an automated drive of a second vehicle:
receiving, by a processor of the first vehicle, sensor data generated by a sensor system of the first vehicle;
recognizing, by the processor of the first vehicle, a plurality of objects in surroundings of the first vehicle based on the sensor data;
for each of the recognized plurality of objects:
ascertaining, by the processor of the first vehicle and based on respective parts of the sensor data corresponding to the respective object, respective values for each of a plurality of object characteristics;
differently weighting, by the processor of the first vehicle, the ascertained respective values to obtain a single respective overall object transfer priority of the respective object, wherein the weighting is performed by, for each of one or more of the ascertained respective values, performing a mathematical operation on the respective value with a respective weighting factor, to thereby obtain a modified set of characteristic values, the modified set of characteristic values being combined to form the single respective overall object transfer priority; and
comparing, by the processor of the first vehicle, the obtained single respective overall object transfer priority of the respective object to a single predefined threshold value to determine whether the obtained single respective overall object transfer priority is greater than the single predefined threshold value; and
transmitting, via a communication network, to a processor of the second vehicle at least one message generated by the processor of the first vehicle based on results of the comparisons according to a condition that information about all and only those of the objects whose single respective overall object transfer priority has been determined in the comparison to be greater than the single predefined threshold is included in the at least one message, wherein as a result of the condition, for each respective one of the plurality of objects whose obtained single respective overall object transfer priority is not greater than the single predefined threshold value, information about the respective one of the plurality of objects is not transmitted to the processor of the second vehicle.
