Abstract

A vehicle control system provides a driving function for automated longitudinal control of a vehicle at a signaling unit, the driving function having an automated mode and a manual mode. The vehicle control system is designed to consecutively detect a plurality of signaling units during travel of the vehicle. The vehicle control system is also designed to determine, for each of the plurality of signaling units and on the basis of data relating to the relevant signaling unit, whether the driving function can be operated in the automated mode or only in the manual mode at the relevant signaling unit. The vehicle control system is further designed to operate the driving function in the manual mode at at least one first signaling unit of the plurality of signaling units although it has been determined, on the basis of the data relating to the first signaling unit, that the first signaling unit can be operated in the automated mode.
