Method and control system for providing control commands for a vehicle steerable by an operating unit or for an image acquisition device of the vehicle by sequential display of acquired image data on an image display device of the operating unit connected to the vehicle via a data transfer connection. The method includes acquiring data of an image recorded by the image acquisition device, acquiring vehicle state data at a time the image was recorded, and compressing the image data. The method also includes transferring the compressed image data and the vehicle state data via the data transfer connection to the operating unit, decompressing the transferred image data to form a displayable image, and displaying the displayable image on the image display device. The method further includes entering an operator command into the operating unit to at least one of change a direction of movement of the vehicle and change a direction of view of the image acquisition device, calculating a new image from the displayable image that takes into account the transferred vehicle state data and the entered operator command, displaying the new image on the image display device instead of the displayable image, and transferring a control command from the operator command to the vehicle via the data transfer connection.
