Abstract
A method and control system for operating a motor vehicle, sense a gesture directed at an object from a vehicle occupant using a gesture recognition unit, interpret the gesture and identify of the object using a data processing unit and generate a corresponding control command on the basis of the interpreted gesture and the identified object. An assistance system of the motor vehicle is actuated in accordance with the control command using the data processing unit. A voice command, uttered by the vehicle occupant is sensed before, during or after the sensing of the gesture, using a voice recognition unit. A combined interpretation of the gesture, the identified object and the voice command is performed, and the control command is generated on the basis of the combined interpretation, using the data processing unit.
