16. A communication system of a motor vehicle (FZ1), the communication system comprising:
-
a first image acquisition device (K1) situated in the motor vehicle (FZ1) and oriented toward a driver (F); a first evaluation module configured to determine a detected viewing direction (BR) of the driver from the image acquired by the first image acquisition device (K1); a first determining unit configured to determine a point of intersection (SP) of the detected viewing direction (BR) and a windshield (W) of the motor vehicle (FZ1); a projection device (P) configured to project a marking (M) onto the windshield (W), the projection device being in contact with the first determining unit, wherein the position of the marking (M) comprises the point of intersection (SP); a confirmation device (B) operable by the driver (F); and a communication device (K) configured to transmit a signal to a receiver that is marked with the marking (M) from the detected viewing direction (BR) of the driver (F), if a confirmation signal of the confirmation device (B) is present. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
