Method for operating a motor vehicle at least partially autonomously, comprising: - obtaining at least one potential conflict area in which there is a potential for conflict with other road users, wherein the conflict area is to be traversed by the motor vehicle according to a planned driving maneuver; - determining at least one observation area which, for the purpose of traversing the conflict area, is to be observed in order to avoid conflicts with the other road users; wherein at least one dimension of the observation area is defined taking into account at least one of the following parameters: a) a speed of the motor vehicle; b) a type of road user expected in the observation area; c) an observed state of the transport infrastructure, comprising the steps of: - determining a portion of the observation area that is observable by the motor vehicle and/or a portion of the observation area that is unobservable by the motor vehicle and controlling the traversing of the conflict area on the basis thereof, wherein if the observable portion is below a minimum portion and/or the unobservable portion is above a maximum portion: - obtaining at least one type of road user expected in the observation area; - establishing that there is no other road user in the observation area on the basis of the observable portion and/or the unobservable portion of the observation area and the type of road user. - obtaining at least one potential conflict area in which there is a potential for conflict with other road users, wherein the conflict area is to be traversed by the motor vehicle according to a planned driving maneuver; - determining at least one observation area which, for the purpose of traversing the conflict area, is to be observed in order to avoid conflicts with the other road users; wherein at least one dimension of the observation area is defined taking into account at least one of the following parameters: a) a speed of the motor vehicle; b) a type of road user expected in the observation area; c) an observed state of the transport infrastructure, comprising the steps of: - determining a portion of the observation area that is observable by the motor vehicle and/or a portion of the observation area that is unobservable by the motor vehicle and controlling the traversing of the conflict area on the basis thereof, wherein if the observable portion is below a minimum portion and/or the unobservable portion is above a maximum portion: - obtaining at least one type of road user expected in the observation area; - establishing that there is no other road user in the observation area on the basis of the observable portion and/or the unobservable portion of the observation area and the type of road user. wherein at least one dimension of the observation area is defined taking into account at least one of the following parameters: a) a speed of the motor vehicle; b) a type of road user expected in the observation area; c) an observed state of the transport infrastructure, a) a speed of the motor vehicle; b) a type of road user expected in the observation area; c) an observed state of the transport infrastructure, comprising the steps of: - determining a portion of the observation area that is observable by the motor vehicle and/or a portion of the observation area that is unobservable by the motor vehicle and controlling the traversing of the conflict area on the basis thereof, wherein if the observable portion is below a minimum portion and/or the unobservable portion is above a maximum portion: - obtaining at least one type of road user expected in the observation area; - establishing that there is no other road user in the observation area on the basis of the observable portion and/or the unobservable portion of the observation area and the type of road user. - determining a portion of the observation area that is observable by the motor vehicle and/or a portion of the observation area that is unobservable by the motor vehicle and controlling the traversing of the conflict area on the basis thereof, wherein if the observable portion is below a minimum portion and/or the unobservable portion is above a maximum portion: - obtaining at least one type of road user expected in the observation area; - establishing that there is no other road user in the observation area on the basis of the observable portion and/or the unobservable portion of the observation area and the type of road user.
