A method is provided for visualizing optical information in the central field of vision of a driver in such a way that a display () in the form of a virtual image is superimposed on a real traffic environment. A position of the display () is dynamically variable as a function of a vehicle speed, a steering angle, and a road type. Thus a horizontal and/or vertical spread of a display range () between a first maximum value () and a second maximum value () within which the display () can be displayed is varied as a function of speed, steering angle and roadway type.

Method for visualizing optical information

In a method and control device for providing feedback to a vehicle occupant, a signal corresponding to current and/or upcoming movements of the vehicle is obtained when the vehicle is in an autonomous driving mode. The obtained signal is provided to a control device located within the cabin of the vehicle. The control device is moved corresponding to the provided signal. In an embodiment, an input of the occupant for an autonomous driving unit of the vehicle via the control device is received and a signal corresponding to the received input is submitted to the autonomous driving unit. The input may correspond to a maneuver request and/or to a selection of one of several autonomous driving-modes.
