A method for guiding a motor vehicle on the basis of image data when autonomously driving the motor vehicle in platooning formation following a leading vehicle, by a steering controller coupled to a steering system and a headway controller receiving and controlling a vehicle's interdistance relative to a leading vehicle, said method comprising controlling, by the steering controller, the vehicle's lateral distance relative to a first lane side, said steering controller receiving inputs from a first lane side detector mounted on a first front side location of the vehicle, and from a second lane side detector mounted on a second front side location opposing said first front side location, wherein said first and second lane side detectors are spaced apart over or wider than the vehicle's width.
