Driving system for automated driving for a motor vehicle , wherein the driving system is configured - to acquire an actual traffic situation in the surroundings of the motor vehicle , - to determine an actual field of view (FOV) of at least one sensor of the motor vehicle in the actual traffic situation , - for at least one region (OC1-OC2) in the surroundings of the motor vehicle , which is not in the actual field of view (FOV) of the at least one sensor, to simulate a virtual road user in the at least one region in the surroundings of the motor vehicle as a function of a probability of appearance for the virtual road user , characterized in that - to use at least two alternative action options relating to the longitudinal and/or lateral control of the ego motor vehicle starting from the actual traffic situation for a first time step, - for each of these action options , to determine at least one possible future traffic situation (101-105) for the first time step as a consequence of the respective action option , - to determine the spatial position of the at least one virtual road user in each possible future traffic situation (101-105) in such a way that the at least one virtual road user moves starting from the spatial position of the at least one virtual road user in the actual traffic situation , - to perform an assessment for each of these possible future traffic situations (101-105) as a function of a possible virtual collision of the ego motor vehicle with the at least one virtual road user , - to select one of these action options as a function thereof for the first time step, and - to execute the selected action option . - to acquire an actual traffic situation in the surroundings of the motor vehicle , - to determine an actual field of view (FOV) of at least one sensor of the motor vehicle in the actual traffic situation , - for at least one region (OC1-OC2) in the surroundings of the motor vehicle , which is not in the actual field of view (FOV) of the at least one sensor, to simulate a virtual road user in the at least one region in the surroundings of the motor vehicle as a function of a probability of appearance for the virtual road user , - to use at least two alternative action options relating to the longitudinal and/or lateral control of the ego motor vehicle starting from the actual traffic situation for a first time step, - for each of these action options , to determine at least one possible future traffic situation (101-105) for the first time step as a consequence of the respective action option , - to determine the spatial position of the at least one virtual road user in each possible future traffic situation (101-105) in such a way that the at least one virtual road user moves starting from the spatial position of the at least one virtual road user in the actual traffic situation , - to perform an assessment for each of these possible future traffic situations (101-105) as a function of a possible virtual collision of the ego motor vehicle with the at least one virtual road user , - to select one of these action options as a function thereof for the first time step, and - to execute the selected action option . <EOS>
