METHOD FOR OPERATING A DRIVER ASSISTANCE DEVICE FOR AUTONOMOUSLY DRIVING A MOTOR VEHICLE AND MOTOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for operating a driver assistance device of a motor vehicle, wherein the driver assistance device is switched between an automatic drive mode, in which control signals are output at least to a steering device of the motor vehicle by the driver assistance device and a steering angle of the motor vehicle is autonomously controlled by the driver assistance device, and a manual drive mode, in which the steering angle is manually controlled by a driver by operating a steering wheel of the motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- switching the driver assistance device at least in one switching direction from one of the drive modes into the other drive mode; and
as a result of the switching, generating a moving light along a predetermined lighting path in a movement direction associated with the switching direction by a lighting device.
