The motor vehicle according to the invention has a driver assistance device which is designed to guide the motor vehicle independently and can be switched between several assistance modes which differ in a degree of autonomy of the driver assistance device when driving the motor vehicle. An operating device (16) having several operating elements (32, 34, 38, 40, 44) allows the user to adjust respective driving parameters, which determine a driving behavior of the driver assistance device, in at least one of the assistance modes as a function of an activation of the operating elements (32, 34, 38, 40, 44). The operating device (16) is designed in the form of a palm rest, wherein a plurality of the operating elements (38, 40, 44) are arranged on a support body (16) in a central console (10) or in a side door of the motor vehicle for a palm of the user of the operating device. The support body (16) is mounted such that it can be manually rotated about a vertical axis (36), and the driver assistance device is designed to adjust the currently active assistance mode as a function of a rotary position of the support body (16).
