1. A driver's cab configuration for a rail vehicle comprising:
a driving settings device operable by a vehicle driver for setting a desired driving behavior of the rail vehicle;
a memory device in which a target driving behavior profile for the rail vehicle is stored;
an operating actuator which is configured to operate the driving settings device based on the target driving behavior profile; and
a drive control device which is configured to control at least a drive device of the rail vehicle based on operations of the driving settings device,
wherein the driver's cab configuration is operable in a manual operating mode in which the operating actuator does not perform operations of the driving settings device;
and is operable in at least a partially autonomous operating mode in which the driving settings device is operable by the operating actuator.
