A picking system for picking goods includes a goods acceptance zone, a goods transfer zone, a storage zone, a storage conveying device or devices, an order processing computer for registering a picking order and a removal conveying device or devices, wherein the storage conveying device or devices and/or the removal conveying device or devices have autonomous conveying vehicles for transporting the goods/ordered goods on a travel surface. The travel surface is subdivided into multiple travel surface segments, and driving movements are coordinated so that at least 90% of each of the driving movements in the travel surface segments is carried out by a closed group of autonomous conveying vehicles. Further, a method operates the picking system.
