Abstract
In a method for operating a driver information system in an ego vehicle, environment data are detected in an environment of the ego vehicle. By using the environment data, it is determined whether a lane change of the ego vehicle from a current lane to an adjacent, additional lane may be safely carried out. A driver information display is generated and output, wherein the driver information display comprises a graphic adjacent lane object that represents the adjacent additional lane. The adjacent lane object has a graphic depiction feature that is generated according to whether the lane change may be safely carried out.
