Method for operating a vehicle

A method for operating a driver assistance system, wherein the driver assistance system is configured to:

• autonomously drive the vehicle via an automated driving operation during which the driver assistance system emits a warning to a driver to deactivate the automated driving operation in response to on-the-vehicle-sensor-detected driving situations that are within respective tolerance ranges of respective critical driving situations stored in a memory, the method comprising:
• operating the driver assistance system in a learning phase in which the vehicle is controlled via the automated driving operation and the driver assistance system:
• detects (a) that a driver of the vehicle has deactivated the automated driving operation via engaging the steering and/or acceleration functions in the absence of the warning and where no on-the-vehicle-sensor-detected driving situation is detected as within the tolerance range of any critical driving situation currently stored in the memory, and (b) a first on-the-vehicle-sensor-detected driving situation contemporaneous to and causing the deactivation of the automated driving operation by the driver, via one or more sensors of the driver assistance system, and
• stores the first on-the-vehicle-sensor-detected driving situation so as to be referable to by the driver assistance system as a critical driving situation with respect to which the warning is emitted when the on-the-vehicle-sensor-detected driving situations are within the tolerance range thereof.
