A method for a vehicle configured to be remotely operated by a remote driver in a remote driving mode and to be operated at least partially automatically in an automated driving mode, the method comprising: determining driving preferences of the remote driver from the driving behavior of the remote driver, wherein the driving preferences comprise one or more conditions for a future traffic situation; collecting information on a current traffic situation of the vehicle using one or more environmental sensors; predicting, using a predefined motion model and the information on the current traffic situation, a future traffic situation and predicting, based on a comparison of the one or more conditions and the future traffic situation, information on a future traffic situation for switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode; determining a predicted quality of service, pQoS, of a communication link for the remote driving mode; predicting a remote operation interval for which the vehicle is at least operable in the remote driving mode based on the pQoS and the information on the future traffic situation; and deciding for or against switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode based on the remote operation interval, wherein deciding for or against switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode comprises: obtaining a threshold for the remote operation interval, the threshold being at least equal to a reaction time of the remote driver for taking over control of the vehicle; deciding for switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode if the remote operation interval exceeds or is equal to the threshold; and deciding against switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode if the remote operation interval falls short of the threshold. determining driving preferences of the remote driver from the driving behavior of the remote driver, wherein the driving preferences comprise one or more conditions for a future traffic situation; collecting information on a current traffic situation of the vehicle using one or more environmental sensors; predicting, using a predefined motion model and the information on the current traffic situation, a future traffic situation and predicting, based on a comparison of the one or more conditions and the future traffic situation, information on a future traffic situation for switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode; determining a predicted quality of service, pQoS, of a communication link for the remote driving mode; predicting a remote operation interval for which the vehicle is at least operable in the remote driving mode based on the pQoS and the information on the future traffic situation; and deciding for or against switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode based on the remote operation interval, wherein deciding for or against switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode comprises: obtaining a threshold for the remote operation interval, the threshold being at least equal to a reaction time of the remote driver for taking over control of the vehicle; deciding for switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode if the remote operation interval exceeds or is equal to the threshold; and deciding against switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode if the remote operation interval falls short of the threshold. obtaining a threshold for the remote operation interval, the threshold being at least equal to a reaction time of the remote driver for taking over control of the vehicle; deciding for switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode if the remote operation interval exceeds or is equal to the threshold; and deciding against switching from the automated driving mode to the remote driving mode if the remote operation interval falls short of the threshold.
