Method for operating an automatic driving function in a vehicle, in which environment data are captured in surroundings of the vehicle; and the captured environment data are used to generate and output graphics data relating to an environmental representation; wherein the environmental representation comprises at least one first operator control object; wherein, if actuation of a first operator control object is detected: a selection object associated with the first operator control object is generated; actuation of the selection object is detected; and the actuating of the selection object is taken as a basis for generating a control signal, the automatic driving function being performed on the basis of the control signal, characterized in that the environmental representation comprises at least one further operator control object (22, 23, 24); wherein, if actuation of a further operator control object (22, 23, 24) is detected: a further selection object associated with the actuated further operator control object (22, 23, 24) is generated; actuation of the further selection object is detected; and the actuating of the further selection object is taken as a basis for generating a control signal, the automatic driving function being performed on the basis of the control signal. environment data are captured in surroundings of the vehicle; and the captured environment data are used to generate and output graphics data relating to an environmental representation; wherein the environmental representation comprises at least one first operator control object; wherein, if actuation of a first operator control object is detected: a selection object associated with the first operator control object is generated; actuation of the selection object is detected; and the actuating of the selection object is taken as a basis for generating a control signal, the automatic driving function being performed on the basis of the control signal, characterized in that the environmental representation comprises at least one further operator control object (22, 23, 24); wherein, if actuation of a further operator control object (22, 23, 24) is detected: a further selection object associated with the actuated further operator control object (22, 23, 24) is generated; actuation of the further selection object is detected; and the actuating of the further selection object is taken as a basis for generating a control signal, the automatic driving function being performed on the basis of the control signal. a selection object associated with the first operator control object is generated; actuation of the selection object is detected; and the actuating of the selection object is taken as a basis for generating a control signal, the automatic driving function being performed on the basis of the control signal, characterized in that the environmental representation comprises at least one further operator control object (22, 23, 24); wherein, if actuation of a further operator control object (22, 23, 24) is detected: a further selection object associated with the actuated further operator control object (22, 23, 24) is generated; actuation of the further selection object is detected; and the actuating of the further selection object is taken as a basis for generating a control signal, the automatic driving function being performed on the basis of the control signal. a further selection object associated with the actuated further operator control object (22, 23, 24) is generated; actuation of the further selection object is detected; and the actuating of the further selection object is taken as a basis for generating a control signal, the automatic driving function being performed on the basis of the control signal.
