1. A device for preventing a movement of an at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle (1) in an autonomous driving mode, comprising:
an actuator (6), wherein an immobilization function of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle (1) is activatable or deactivatable by the actuator (6); and
an overriding safety device (3), wherein the actuator (6) is disposed within the overriding safety device (3) and wherein access to the actuator (6) is controllable by the overriding safety device (3);
wherein the actuator (6) is a switch accessible from outside of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle;
wherein the overriding safety device (3) comprises a flap (4) which includes a mechanical lock (5) and wherein the flap (4) is openable by unlocking the mechanical lock (5) with a key to provide access to the actuator (6).
