1. A method for operating a vehicle, which has a predefined at least partially autonomous control mode, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the vehicle, an identification that indicates the predefined control mode, the identification being transmitted to a vehicle-related component which has at least one of;
(i) information relevant for the predefined control mode, and (ii) one or more control command(s) relevant for the predefined control mode;
wherein the transmitting takes place only when the vehicle is in the predefined control mode, in order to make the at least one of the information and the control commands available to the vehicle, wherein the vehicle-related component is a device that is remote from the vehicle;
wherein in response to receiving the identification transmitted by the vehicle, the remote device processes and transmits the information and the control commands to the vehicle.
