A method for providing a model of surroundings for a vehicle includes providing a model of the surroundings based on sensor measurements by sensors of the vehicle, wherein the model of the surroundings provides information relating to an occupation of the surroundings by one or more objects, including information regarding a type of object in the surroundings of the vehicle. The method includes determining a region of the surroundings for which no information relating to occupation by objects is provided by the model of the surroundings, wherein the region is within a distance limit for which the sensors can provide sensor measurements relating to the occupation by objects, and checking whether a phantom object is to be added to the model of the surroundings in the region based on the type of object and predefined regulations, wherein the phantom object is an object which was not determined on the basis of sensor measurements. In the event the phantom object is determined to be added, the method further includes determining the occupation by the phantom object in the region of the surroundings, and generating an extended model of the surroundings by adding information relating to the occupation by the phantom object to the model of the surroundings, and then providing the extended model of the surroundings.
