METHOD FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTOMATIC DRIVING MODE
First Claim
1. A method for operating a vehicle that is operable in a manual driving mode and in an automatic driving mode and has at least one foot actuation device, which in the manual driving mode projects from a plane of a resting surface and is actuated by a vehicle driver, the method comprising:
- detecting a switch from the manual driving mode to the automatic driving mode; and
moving the at least one foot actuation device and/or the resting surface relative to one another such that the at least one foot actuation device and the resting surface form a substantially continuous plane or the resting surface forms a substantially continuous plane and the foot actuation device is covered by the plane of the resting surface.

Abstract
A method for operating a vehicle that can be operated in a manual driving mode and in an automatic driving mode and has at least one foot actuation device, which in the manual driving mode projects from a plane of a resting surface and can be actuated by a vehicle driver, wherein a switch from the manual driving mode to the automatic driving mode is detected and thereupon the at least one foot actuation device and/or the resting surface are moved relative to one another in such a way that the at least one foot actuation device and the resting surface form a substantially continuous plane or the resting surface forms a substantially continuous plane and the foot actuation device is covered by the plane of the resting surface.
