Abstract
A method for carrying out an autonomous driving procedure of a vehicle involves detecting a driver of the vehicle using a camera directed into the interior space of the vehicle. The driver is detected during and after leaving the interior of the vehicle using at least one further camera. A viewing direction of the driver is determined using data detected by the at least one further camera. The autonomous driving procedure is only activated when it is detected that the driver is looking at the vehicle.
