1. A method for operating a motor vehicle having an environment sensor system and having a vehicle headlight, the vehicle headlight comprising an objective with at least one objective lens, and an illumination matrix with a plurality of independently controllable illumination pixels, the method comprising:
obtaining signals from the environment sensor system;
generating a time-variant illumination pattern depending on the signals from the environment sensor system by means of the illumination matrix, the illumination pattern comprising a bright-dark boundary having a gradient;
periodically deflecting the illumination matrix in terms of an oscillating movement; and
imaging the illumination pattern by means of the objective onto a road in front of the motor vehicle.
