The disclosed subject matter describes a method for setting an automatic distance from and behavior with respect to a vehicle in front. The automatic distance can be optimized based on the situation and energy efficiency. A current traffic situation is detected. A traffic situation on a road section yet to be traveled can be predicted. Energy consumption depending on a variation in the distance from the vehicle in front can be measured. A distance from the vehicle in front can be set depending on the currently detected traffic situation, the predicted traffic situation, and the measured energy consumption.
