1. A Method for carrying out a self-diagnosis of an automated vehicle, comprising:
operating the vehicle in a standard operating mode for a transport-oriented operation of the vehicle, in which the self-diagnosis is automatically carried out according to a first weighting, and
operating the vehicle in a diagnosis operating mode, in which the self-diagnosis is automatically carried out using a second weighting, said second weighting being greater than the first weighting,
wherein, in the standard operating mode, the self-diagnosis is carried out as a secondary function, and the transport-oriented operation has priority over the self-diagnosis,
wherein, in the diagnosis operating mode, the self-diagnosis is carried out with a higher priority than in the standard operating mode,
wherein in the diagnosis operating mode, transport-oriented operation is only performed in such a way that the self-diagnosis is possible, and
wherein a switch from the standard operating mode to the diagnosis operating mode is actively initiated from outside the vehicle.
