1. A device for controlling longitudinal guidance of a vehicle that is configured to be driven in an at least partly automated manner, the device comprising:
a first actuation element configured to control the longitudinal guidance by a driver, wherein the first actuation element is blocked within predefined position limits in accordance with a variable representing a degree of automation of driving of the vehicle and in accordance with a first condition, and
a processor configured to output a control signal for blocking of the first actuation element,
wherein the blocking of the first actuation element is suspended in accordance with the variable representing the degree of automation of the driving of the vehicle and a second condition, and
wherein different haptic effects are provided on the first actuation element for a first transition from manual driving to automated driving and a second transition from the automated driving to the manual driving.
