A process for moving a motor vehicle into a target position includes placing the motor vehicle in a starting position near the target position; following a first driver-side activation, scanning the environment of the motor vehicle continuously at least for detection of the target position, and determining continuously the current motor vehicle position; determining control data for moving the motor vehicle into the target position with the aid of the determined environment and position information; and after a second driver-side activation, delivering control data-dependent control commands to at least one of a drive train, a brake system and a steering system of the motor vehicle, thus driving the motor vehicle driver-independently into the target position.

A single processor system features independent multiple watchdog units allocated to a processor unit of the system, the watchdog units operable to monitor for system faults and, upon detecting a fault, further operative to place the processor system into a predetermined fault reaction state. The multiple watchdog units are each provided with respective different watchdog calls which are output to the processor unit depending upon program execution.
