The invention relates to a method () for carrying out a self-diagnosis () of an automated vehicle (), wherein the following steps are carried out:&#x2014;operating the vehicle () in a standard operating mode (I) for a transport-oriented operation of the vehicle (), in which the self-diagnosis () is automatically carried out according to a first weighting, and&#x2014;operating the vehicle () in a diagnosis operating mode (II), in which the self-diagnosis () is automatically carried out using a second weighting, said second weighting being greater than the first weighting.

Method for carrying out a self-diagnosis in an automated vehicle

An actuating apparatus having a signal transmitter and a mechanical operating element, wherein the mechanical operating element includes a first position that is stable over time and a second position that is stable over time, wherein the mechanical operating element, in the case of a movement from the first position that is stable over time into the second position that is stable over time, actuates the signal transmitter, and wherein the signal transmitter, upon actuation, causes a first signal change followed by a second signal change of an output signal, and an evaluation circuit detects an actuation of the mechanical operating element based on the first signal change and the second signal change.
