Abstract: A method for operating a technical system in an environment is disclosed, wherein the technical system can be moved, as a whole or in parts, in the environment by a motor. A person controls movements of the technical system in the environment at least temporarily. The technical system has a steering assistance system which a) observes the environment using sensors and, depending on the observed environment, determines reference movement courses for the technical system for future time intervals, b) registers movement courses of the technical system actually controlled by the person in the time intervals, c) carries out a comparison between the reference movement courses and the movement courses actually controlled, and d) depending on the comparison result, assigns one of a plurality of steering quality levels to the person. This allows greater safety in the operation of technical systems which are controlled by people in the environment.
