A method for autonomously operating a vehicle includes capturing environmental data of a front area by a front sensor mounted to the vehicle, capturing environmental data of a rear area by a rear sensor, capturing a position of the vehicle by a position sensor, assigning the position of the vehicle to a location in an topographic map containing slope information, retrieving slope information from the topographic map for a predetermined range in front of and behind of the location of the vehicle, determining a maximum detection distance of the front and rear sensors for detecting an object having a specific vertical height based on the slope information, front and rear sensor positions, and a vertical opening angle of a field of view of the front sensors, determining a minimum detection distance of the front and the rear sensor required for a planned driving maneuver or a current driving state of the vehicle, and actuating the vehicle such that the required minimum detection distance is equal or smaller than the maximum detection distance of the front and rear sensors.
