A driver assistance system and a method for automatically logging a transition of the responsibility during a status change between fully automatic operation and manual operation of a motor vehicle is provided. The driver assistance system and the method include an event data recorder with a data storage and with a control unit. The control unit is designed such that a time-limited recording of log data is triggered by means of the data storage when a pre-warning signal, which announces the status change between fully automatic vehicle operation and manual vehicle operation, is transmitted to the control unit. In this manner, a secure logging process of the transition of the responsibility is ensured.
