A method for operating a data processing unit of a driver assistance system, the unit including main and slave computers. The main computer ascertains surroundings data from a surroundings detection system by using a processing specification. The slave computer operates a communication interface of the data processing unit, using a communication instruction. The method includes initializing, a first testing, a carrying out, a second testing and a forwarding. In initializing, the main computer, in response to a signal, is initialized by performing an initialization instruction on the main computer. In the first testing, the slave computer, in response to the signal, is initialized by performing a self-test instruction on the slave computer. In the carrying out, the communication instruction is performed on the slave computer to send and/or receive data via the communication interface, when the slave computer is tested and while the main computer is initialized. In the second testing, the main computer is tested by performing a test instruction on the slave computer, when the main computer is initialized. In the forwarding, the surroundings data are forwarded via the communication interface by performing the communication instruction on the slave computer, when the main computer is tested.

Method for operating a data processing unit of a driver assistance system and data processing unit

A coupling device for coupling a software component, which transmits a setting command for setting an actuator on a control system of a motor vehicle, to the control system, the coupling device including a monitoring unit, which is designed to carry out an assessment for each setting command as to whether its implementation will transfer the motor vehicle into a dangerous state, the coupling device being further designed to transmit, as a function of this assessment, a monitored setting command corresponding to the setting command to an implementation unit, the implementation unit being designed to control the actuator.

Device for the reliable integration of a software component into a motor vehicle

A communication module for controlling a motor vehicle, which is configured for receiving vehicle-independent commands and converting these received commands into a target trajectory of the motor vehicle, and transmitting this target trajectory to an implementation module which is configured for associating a sequence of control commands for components of the motor vehicle with this transmitted target trajectory.
