According to a method for estimating a length of a vehicle (1) driving in front of an ego-vehicle (8), a sensor dataset is generated by means of a lidar system (11) of the ego-vehicle (8), wherein the vehicle (1) is within a field of view (10) of the lidar system (11). A first distance (X0) between the ego-vehicle (8) and a rear end (2) of the vehicle (1) is determined depending on the sensor dataset. A second distance (X3) between the ego-vehicle (8) and a reference component, which is at least a part of a front wheel (5) of the vehicle (1) or an outer part of an underbody (6) of the vehicle (1), is determined depending on the sensor dataset, and the length of the vehicle (1) is estimated depending on the first distance (X0) and the second distance (X3).
