A system is configured to control an ego motor vehicle in an automated driving mode with at least automated longitudinal guidance. A parking space is detected during the automated driving mode with at least automated longitudinal guidance. It is checked whether there is a following vehicle behind the vehicle in question. If there is a following vehicle, in a first action alternative the system can bring the motor vehicle to a standstill in a stationary position in which the motor vehicle is not yet located after the parking space. After the motor vehicle reaches the stationary position, the motor vehicle is driven past the parking space in an automated fashion, and the motor vehicle is then brought to a standstill in a stationary position in which it is located after the parking space, in order then for the motor vehicle to be parked in the parking space in reverse in an automated fashion. If, on the other hand, a following vehicle is not detected at all, the system carries out a second alternative in which the motor vehicle drives past the parking space in an automated fashion, and is then brought to a standstill in a stationary position in which the motor vehicle is located after the parking space, in order then for the motor vehicle to be parked in the parking space in reverse from this position in one or more maneuvers.
