Abstract

A method for operating a driver assistance system for a motor vehicle driven in an at least partially automated manner includes learning a trajectory in a learning mode for driving the vehicle in a first automated manner along the trajectory. Subsequently, the vehicle is driven in the first automated manner along the learnt trajectory in an operating mode following the learning mode. While the vehicle is being driven along the trajectory in the operating mode, at least one transition from a private area to a public area is detected. Additional data, including current traffic data related to driving the vehicle in the public area, is acquired and provided for the driver assistance system. The motor vehicle is driven along the learnt trajectory in a second automated manner in the public area using the additional data.
