A method for automated vehicle localization based on filtered feature points comprises at least the following steps: generating sensor data using a vehicle sensor, wherein the sensor data represent the vehicle's environment and a change in the vehicle's position; generating a plurality of feature points based on the sensor data, wherein each feature point represents at least one location point in the vehicle's environment; determining several suitability indicators for at least some of the feature points, wherein each feature point is associated with several suitability indicators, and wherein each suitability indicator represents a suitability of the associated feature point for automated vehicle localization; filtering the feature points based on the suitability indicators; and automatically localizing the vehicle based on the filtered feature points.
