1. A motor vehicle, comprising:
a steering wheel rotatably mounted around a steering axis, wherein a steering angle of at least one wheel of the motor vehicle is changeable;
a feedback actuator, wherein a feedback torque with respect to the steering axis is configured to be applied to the steering wheel by the feedback actuator; and
a control unit configured to specify the feedback torque as a function of feedback data provided to the control unit, wherein the feedback data are wheel sensor data of at least one wheel sensor of the motor vehicle respectively arranged in at least one roadway sensor of the motor vehicle, and the at least one roadway sensor is configured to contactlessly detect a section of a roadway traveled by the motor vehicle and preprocess data ascertained as a function of the wheel sensor data and roadway sensor data to derive the feedback torque.
