A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle for automated driving includes automated longitudinal guidance, wherein, when automated longitudinal guidance is active in an automatic mode, automated longitudinal guidance is initiated in consideration of a predefinable setpoint speed. The system has a first detection unit, designed to detect a traffic situation in which the vehicle is located on a multi-lane road in a non-passing lane relative to an additional traffic participant detected in an adjacent lane; a second detection unit, designed to detect a defined road class of the road currently being traveled; a third detection unit, designed to detect a defined separate lane of the road currently being traveled; and an evaluation and control unit, which is designed, when automated longitudinal guidance is active, depending on the detected road class and a detected separate travel lane, to allow or to prevent an overtaking of the additional traffic participant detected in the adjacent lane, in the non-passing lane.

A control unit for displaying a traffic situation on a screen of an ego vehicle is designed to display a first traffic participant symbol for a first traffic participant in a first sub-region of the screen and a second traffic participant symbol for a second traffic participant in a second sub-region of the screen. The control unit is additionally designed to determine that the first traffic participant symbol and the second traffic participant symbol are approaching each other in a specified manner on the basis of a change in the position of the second traffic participant relative to the first traffic participant. In response thereto, the control unit is further designed to at least partly hide the first and/or the second traffic participant symbol.
