Method for operating a motor vehicle having an autopilot system, and motor vehicle

1. A method for operating a motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle comprises an autopilot system and a display device, the method comprising:

determining, by the autopilot system, technical activatability information based on an operating situation described by driving situation data and/or operating state data of the motor vehicle and system boundaries information describing a range of application of the autopilot system;

displaying, by a first output element of the display device, an activatability of the autopilot system according to the technical activatability information;

determining, by the autopilot system, recommendation information based on the operating situation and preferences in relation to the autopilot system or driver data describing a status of a driver of the motor vehicle in relation to a vehicle guidance; and

displaying, by a second output element of the display device, an activation recommendation or a deactivation recommendation according to the recommendation information,

wherein the autopilot system is designed for automatically guiding the motor vehicle.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising displaying the activation recommendation for road sections within the range of application.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the recommendation information comprises a recommendation level describing a degree of recommendation, the method further comprising:

determining to display using the second output element based on the recommendation level;

determining control parameters for displaying based on the recommendation level; and

displaying, by the second output element, the activation recommendation based on the control parameters.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

determining that the activation recommendation is based on a driver-related suitability of a road section;

assigning a first recommendation level to the activation recommendation;

determining a second activation recommendation based on a current activity and/or a current state of the driver; and

assigning a second recommendation level to the second activation recommendation,

wherein the activation recommendation is a road section-related activation recommendation,

wherein the second activation recommendation is an actuality-related activation recommendation, and

wherein the first recommendation level is lower than the second recommendation level.

5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:

displaying the activation recommendation at least at a beginning of a road section to which it refers.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

displaying the second activation recommendation in a predetermined period of time; and

outputting, by the second output element, the second activation recommendation acoustically, wherein the second output element comprises an acoustic output device.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the predetermined period of time is 5 seconds.

8. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

in response to outputting the second activation recommendation acoustically, recording a response from the driver by an acoustic recording device of the motor vehicle; and

deriving control information for activating or deactivating the autopilot system based on the response.

9. The method according claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the technical activatability information indicates that the autopilot system is not available and the recommendation information indicates the activation recommendation;

in response to determining the technical activatability information, determining a driving intervention by the driver that leads to an establishment of the activatability of the autopilot system; and

outputting driver information describing the driving intervention by the second output element and/or a further output element of the motor vehicle.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the driving intervention includes a lane change and/or a change of road class and/or a speed reduction.

11. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising:

determining that the driving intervention is the change of road class;

in response to determining that the driving intervention is the change of road class, determining a route comprising a target road class; and

outputting the route by a navigation system of the motor vehicle.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the recommendation information comprises background information describing a reason for the activation recommendation and/or the deactivation recommendation, and wherein the method further comprises outputting the activation recommendation or the deactivation recommendation with the background information.

13. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising determining the recommendation information by evaluating historical data describing driver behavior in a past and/or by evaluating activity data describing current or future activities of the driver and/or by evaluating attention data describing a current distraction and/or attention of the driver.

14. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

assigning the operating situation to an operating situation class;

determining a preferred behavior of the driver based on historical data of the operating situation class; and

determining the recommendation information based on the preferred behavior.

15. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising:

determining that the activity data indicates an activity to be performed without the vehicle guidance; and

generating the activation recommendation.

16. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the attention data relates to a fatigue of the driver and comprises image data showing eyes of the driver, or a duration of a current journey, or a time and/or information on a monotony of a road section, or the current distraction, or information about a conversation of the driver determined by the acoustic recording device.

17. A motor vehicle, comprising an autopilot system designed for automatically guiding the motor vehicle, a display device with a first output element and a second output element, and a control device, wherein the motor vehicle is configured to:

determine, by the autopilot system, technical activatability information based on an operating situation described by driving situation data and/or operating state data of the motor vehicle and system boundaries information describing a range of application of the autopilot system;

display, by the first output element, an activatability of the autopilot system according to the technical activatability information;

determine, by the autopilot system, recommendation information based on the operating situation and preferences in relation to the autopilot system or driver data describing a status of a driver of the motor vehicle in relation to a vehicle guidance; and

display, by the second output element, an activation recommendation or a deactivation recommendation according to the recommendation information.
