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 ; wherein, if actuation of a further operator control object is detected: a further selection object associated with the actuated further operator control object 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 ; wherein, if actuation of a further operator control object is detected: a further selection object associated with the actuated further operator control object 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 ; wherein, if actuation of a further operator control object is detected: a further selection object associated with the actuated further operator control object 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 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. <EOS>
