The actuator is a switch accessible from outside of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle. Access to the actuator is controllable by an overriding safety device. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-10. (canceled) ### Claim 11 A device for preventing a movement of an at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle (1) in an autonomous driving mode, comprising: an actuator (6), wherein an immobilization function of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle (1) is activatable or deactivatable by the actuator (6); and an overriding safety device (3), wherein access to the actuator (6) and/or operation of the actuator (6) is controllable by the overriding safety device (3); wherein the actuator (6) is a switch accessible from outside of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle; wherein the overriding safety device (3) comprises a mechanical lock (5) that is operable with a key to control access to the actuator (6) and/or operation of the actuator (6). ### Claim 12 A device for preventing a movement of an at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle (1) in an autonomous driving mode, comprising: an actuator (6), wherein an immobilization function of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle (1) is activatable or deactivatable by the actuator (6); and an overriding safety device (3), wherein access to the actuator (6) and/or operation of the actuator (6) is controllable by the overriding safety device (3); wherein the actuator (6) is a switch accessible from outside of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle; wherein the overriding safety device (3) comprises an electronic communication device (8), wherein the electronic communication device (8) communicates with an electronic identification provider (7) which is configured to control access to the actuator (6) and/or operation of the actuator (6) dependent on an authorization for the electronic identification provider (7). ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The device according to claim 12, wherein the authorization is stored in the electronic communication device (8). ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The device according to claim 12, wherein the electronic communication device (8) is configured to request the authorization of the electronic identification provider (7) from a vehicle-external server (12). ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The device according to claim 11, wherein the actuator (6) is mechanically operable and/or is directly or indirectly operable by an electronic command. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The device according to claim 12, wherein the actuator (6) is mechanically operable and/or is directly or indirectly operable by an electronic command. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The device according to claim 11, wherein the immobilization function comprises a locking of a brake (11) of the vehicle (1). ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The device according to claim 12, wherein the immobilization function comprises a locking of a brake (11) of the vehicle (1). ### Claim 19 A method for preventing a movement of an at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle (1) in an autonomous driving mode by a device, the device comprising: an actuator (6), wherein an immobilization function of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle (1) is activatable or deactivatable by the actuator (6); and an overriding safety device (3), wherein access to the actuator (6) is controllable by the overriding safety device (3); wherein the actuator (6) is a switch accessible from outside of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle; and comprising the steps of: approving access to the actuator (6) by the overriding safety device (3); and activating or deactivating the immobilization function by the actuator only after the approving. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method according to claim 19, further comprising the step of storing a permanent and a temporary authorization for an electronic identification provider (7) on a vehicle-external server (12). ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The method according to claim 20, wherein the vehicle-external server (12) is configured to communicate with a person and identify the person and to grant a temporary authorization to the person.
