Abstract: A device for controlling a driving function for the automated longitudinal guidance and/or lateral guidance of a vehicle is configured to determine driving situation data for different driving situations during the operation of the driving function in at least one vehicle, in which driving situations the automated longitudinal guidance and/or lateral guidance of the vehicle effected by the driving function was limited. The device is also configured to identify, based on the driving situation data for the different driving situations, a first type of driving situations for which and/or a first location at which the automated longitudinal guidance and/or lateral guidance of the vehicle effected by the driving function was frequently limited. Furthermore, the device is configured to cause the driving function not to be operated or to be operated only with a reduced degree of automation in a driving situation of the first type and/or at the first location.
