1. A display device for a driving system for automated driving of a motor vehicle, wherein for the automated driving the driving system is operable at least in an automated driving mode with automated longitudinal and/or lateral control, comprising:
a driving mode display comprising an illuminant for a vehicle cockpit; and
a control device coupled to the driving mode display, wherein the control device is configured to:
control the driving mode display such that in a context of activating the automated driving mode, the illuminant is luminous in a first luminous state with a specific light intensity in order to indicate the activation of the automated driving mode to a driver,
control the driving mode display such that after the activation of the automated driving mode, with the automated driving mode still active, the illuminant is operated in a dimmed luminous state in comparison with the first luminous state, with a reduced light intensity relative to the light intensity of the first luminous state,
receive brightness information indicative of an ambient brightness, and
control the illuminant depending on the brightness information such that a swing between the light intensity of the first luminous state and the light intensity of the dimmed luminous state is larger for a higher ambient brightness than for a lower ambient brightness relative thereto.
