The invention relates to a method for carrying out an automatic drive of a vehicle (50) along a provided trajectory (30, 31, 32, 33), having the following steps: providing at least one stored trajectory (30, 31, 32, 33) for a current position (23) of the vehicle (50), selecting one of the provided trajectories (30, 31, 32, 33), and carrying out an automatic drive of the vehicle (50). A control (3)of the vehicle (50) provides signals for a transverse control (51) and a longitudinal control (52) in order to control the vehicle (50) along the selected trajectory (30, 31, 32, 33) on the basis ofdetected surroundings data. At least one piece of additional information (7) is detected or received, and the selection process is additionally carried out on the basis of the at least one piece of additional information (7). The invention further relates to a corresponding device.
