Abstract
A lighting function for assisting a driver when driving a motor vehicle is provided by activating the lighting function, determining a light distribution according to the lighting function, determining a perspective of a driver of the motor vehicle and controlling a projection device of the motor vehicle in such a way that the projection device outputs light according to light distribution. Topography data from an environment in a field of view of the driver and/or object data from an object in the surroundings in the field of view of the driver are acquired, and the light distribution is determined as a function of the topography data and/or object data and the perspective of the driver.
