1. A device for recognizing an intention of a driver of an at least partially autonomous motor vehicle, comprising:
a conventional control element, configured to control a movement of the vehicle during manual driving by an occupant of the motor vehicle and additionally, to provide a control input request of the occupant during at least partially autonomous driving;
an input interface for receiving sensor data with information on a section of a roadway in the surroundings of the motor vehicle and control data from the conventional control element with information on the control input request;
an analysis circuit for determining a traffic situation in the surroundings of the motor vehicle based on the sensor data and for generating a vehicle control command based on the control data in order to control the motor vehicle, wherein the analysis circuit is configured to determine, whether the traffic situation allows a vehicle control in accordance with the control input request, so that the vehicle control command is selectively provided if the traffic situation permits it; and
an output interface for selectively transmitting the vehicle control command to the motor vehicle; wherein
the vehicle control command prompts a control procedure of the motor vehicle by a driver assistance system based on the control input request of the occupant and prompts depiction of a notice relating to the control procedure of the motor vehicle by a display device; and wherein
