Driving Assistance System and Driving Assistance Method for a Vehicle

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for a driving assistance system of a vehicle are provided. A user input is received to select an automated driving mode from two or more different automated driving modes. A determination is made as to whether the selected automated driving mode is available when selected by the user input. If the selected automated driving mode is available when selected by the user input, activating the selected automated driving mode is postponed for a first time interval. Alternatively, if the selected automated driving mode is unavailable when selected by the user input, attempting to activate the selected automated driving mode is postponed for a second time interval that is longer than the first time interval.
