Abstract
A method for altering a position of at least one component of an infotainment system in the interior of a vehicle. The method involves ascertaining whether the vehicle is in a first travel mode or a second travel mode, wherein the first travel mode involves the vehicle being driven by a person and/or the second travel mode involves the vehicle not being driven by a person. If the vehicle is in a second travel mode, a first vehicle component is moved from a first position to a third position in the interior of the vehicle and the component of the infotainment system is moved from a second position to a fourth position in the interior of the vehicle.
