1. A method for communication (12) between an at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle (14) and a pedestrian (16, 18) by a system (10), comprising the steps of:
detecting a presence of the pedestrian (16, 18) by detecting a presence of a mobile receiving device (24) of the system (10) on the pedestrian (16, 18) by the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle (14) by a communication device (26a) of the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle (14);
depending on the detecting of the presence of the pedestrian (16, 18), transmitting a first communication signal (28) from the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle (14) to the mobile receiving device (24) on the pedestrian (16, 18);
transmitting a second communication signal (30) from the mobile receiving device (24) to the communication device (26a) of the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle (14); and
taking the second communication signal (30) into account by the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle (14) during an at least partially autonomous driving operation of the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle (14);
wherein the communication (12) is carried out between the at least partially autonomously driving motor vehicle (14) and the pedestrian (16, 18) in an at least partially delimited area (20);
wherein the mobile receiving device (24) is an access element to the at least partially delimited area (20).
