Vehicle, with - an automatic transmission, and - a selector element which can be actuated by hand and is provided for the selection of a group of operating modes (P, R, N, D) of the automatic operation, the selector element having at least one first position which is assigned to a non-highly automated driving vehicle operating mode, it being possible for the automatic transmission to be switched between driving, neutral or reverse operating modes out of the at least one first position by way of deflection of the selector element in the direction of a first actuating gate which runs parallel to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the selecting element having at least one second position, the at least one first position differing from the at least one second position, characterized in that the selector element is a selector element for shifting the vehicle from the non-highly automated driving vehicle operating mode into a highly automated driving vehicle operating mode, in which the vehicle drives in a fully automatic manner along a route which is input via a navigation system, the vehicle being accelerated and braked automatically via an electronic regulating device and being steered automatically, and it not being necessary for the driver to continuously monitor the driving task, at least for a defined time period and in fixed situations, or conversely (for shifting the vehicle from the highly automated driving vehicle operating mode into the non-highly automated driving vehicle operating mode), the at least one second position being assigned to the highly automated driving vehicle operating mode, the selector element being arranged such that it can be pivoted in a vehicle transverse direction, it being possible by way of pivoting of the selector element in the vehicle transverse direction for shifting to be carried out from the non-highly automated driving vehicle operating mode into the highly automated driving vehicle operating mode. - an automatic transmission, and - a selector element which can be actuated by hand and is provided for the selection of a group of operating modes (P, R, N, D) of the automatic operation, the selector element having at least one first position which is assigned to a non-highly automated driving vehicle operating mode, it being possible for the automatic transmission to be switched between driving, neutral or reverse operating modes out of the at least one first position by way of deflection of the selector element in the direction of a first actuating gate which runs parallel to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the selecting element having at least one second position, the at least one first position differing from the at least one second position, characterized in that the selector element is a selector element for shifting the vehicle from the non-highly automated driving vehicle operating mode into a highly automated driving vehicle operating mode, in which the vehicle drives in a fully automatic manner along a route which is input via a navigation system, the vehicle being accelerated and braked automatically via an electronic regulating device and being steered automatically, and it not being necessary for the driver to continuously monitor the driving task, at least for a defined time period and in fixed situations, or conversely (for shifting the vehicle from the highly automated driving vehicle operating mode into the non-highly automated driving vehicle operating mode), the at least one second position being assigned to the highly automated driving vehicle operating mode, the selector element being arranged such that it can be pivoted in a vehicle transverse direction, it being possible by way of pivoting of the selector element in the vehicle transverse direction for shifting to be carried out from the non-highly automated driving vehicle operating mode into the highly automated driving vehicle operating mode. <EOS>
