Abstract
An arrangement for controlling highly automated driving of a vehicle includes: a vehicle guiding device autonomously guiding the vehicle, an evaluation device evaluating a condition of a driver of the vehicle, and a control device controlling activation and deactivation of the vehicle guiding device. The control device activates or deactivates the vehicle guiding device on the basis of the remaining autonomous driving time during which the vehicle can be autonomously controlled by the vehicle guiding device and the reaction time of the driver.
