Abstract
A device and operating method are provided for an interaction between a vehicle, which can travel in an at least partially automated manner, with an operator control element, which can be operated by the user of the vehicle for influencing at least the transverse guidance of the vehicle. A wheel positioning angle and/or a drive torque or braking torque at at least one wheel of the vehicle can be controlled in response to an operator control action at the operator control element or as a function of a control unit for controlling at least partially automated travel. Depending on the degree of haptic contact between the user of the vehicle and the operator control element, at least one movement of the vehicle can be executed on the basis of one or more operator control actions of the user and/or on the basis of data of the control unit for controlling the at least partially automated travel.
