A device for preventing a movement of an at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle in an autonomous driving mode includes an actuator where an immobilization function of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle is activatable or deactivatable by the actuator. The actuator is a switch accessible from outside of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle. Access to the actuator is controllable by an overriding safety device.

Preventing a movement of an autonomous vehicle

A method for communication between an at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle and a pedestrian by a system includes detecting a presence of the pedestrian by detecting a presence of a mobile receiving device of the system on the pedestrian by the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle by a communication device of the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle. Depending on the detecting of the presence of the pedestrian, a first communication signal is transmitted from the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle to the mobile receiving device. A second communication signal is transmitted from the mobile receiving device to the communication device of the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle. The second communication signal is taken into account by the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle during an autonomous driving operation of the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle.
