Motor vehicle with a driver assistance system - which is designed to drive the motor vehicle automatically during a journey of the motor vehicle, and - which can be switched between at least two assistance modes which differ from each other in a degree of autonomy of the driver assistance system when the motor vehicle is being driven, and - the driver assistance system has an operating device in a grip element which is arranged in a primary gripping area for the driver of the motor vehicle and on which a plurality of operating elements (28, 34) is arranged, characterised in that - the grip element can be moved with regard to an inner trim of the motor vehicle by an actuator of the operating system - a control device of the driver assistance system sets a position (P1 to P4) of the grip element in relation to the inner trim by controlling the actuator as a function of the currently active assistance mode, wherein with the driver assistance system in an autonomous assistance mode completely autonomous driving of the motor vehicle, in a fully automatic assistance mode at least independent lateral control, in a partly automatic assistance mode at least a speed regulation and in a manual assistance mode no control is envisaged, and here through the control device the assistances modes are in the above sequence each assigned a position (P4, P3, P2, P1) of the grip element which is closer to a steering wheel of the motor vehicle, and through this, the actively adjustable grip element with the integrated operating elements (28, 34) for operating the automation spectrum, as provided by the manual drive, partial and fully automatic assistance mode as well as the autonomous assistance mode, offers orientation by means of the single grip element in that the position (P4, P3, P2, P1) of the grip element as well as the operating properties of the individual operating elements (28, 34) are variable and dependent on the currently selected assistance mode. - which is designed to drive the motor vehicle automatically during a journey of the motor vehicle, and - which can be switched between at least two assistance modes which differ from each other in a degree of autonomy of the driver assistance system when the motor vehicle is being driven, and - the driver assistance system has an operating device in a grip element which is arranged in a primary gripping area for the driver of the motor vehicle and on which a plurality of operating elements (28, 34) is arranged, characterised in that - the grip element can be moved with regard to an inner trim of the motor vehicle by an actuator of the operating system - a control device of the driver assistance system sets a position (P1 to P4) of the grip element in relation to the inner trim by controlling the actuator as a function of the currently active assistance mode, wherein with the driver assistance system in an autonomous assistance mode completely autonomous driving of the motor vehicle, in a fully automatic assistance mode at least independent lateral control, in a partly automatic assistance mode at least a speed regulation and in a manual assistance mode no control is envisaged, and here through the control device the assistances modes are in the above sequence each assigned a position (P4, P3, P2, P1) of the grip element which is closer to a steering wheel of the motor vehicle,
