Abstract

A method for increasing the share of automated driving in an at least partially automated vehicle involves monitoring the conditions for automated driving. The number of manual takeovers by the driver is reduced in order to utilize the advantages of automated driving optimally designed for traffic flow, traffic safety and energy balance, when conditions for automated driving are met, it is predicted by a model that automated driving will be ended by manual vehicle control. In the event that a takeover by the driver is predicted, information is output to the driver which informs the driver that automated driving is reliably in control of the driving situation.
