A safety device for use in a vehicle which is configured to be operated at least intermittently in an automated driving mode, in which the vehicle drives in an automated manner, and which includes a first data source which is designed as a human machine interface and configured to output data about a driving status, including computing device and a first data interface, the safety device being configured to receive data about the driving status from the first data source via the first data interface, the safety device being configured to receive data about the driving status from a second data source different from the first data source, and the safety device being configured to output pieces of information about the driving status to a driver, using an information output device and based on the data received from the first data source and the second data source.

Safety device for use in a vehicle, vehicle, and method for operating a vehicle

An information device is provided for informing a driver about a driving state of a motor vehicle drivable in an automated manner, the information device including a first control device for controlling automated driving of the motor vehicle and a second control device for controlling the automated driving of the motor vehicle, a first human-machine interface unit for communicating a driving state of the automated driving of the motor vehicle to the driver and a second human-machine interface unit for communicating the driving state of the automated driving of the motor vehicle to the driver, the first control device being designed for transmitting the driving state of the automated driving to the first human-machine interface unit and the second control device being designed for transmitting the driving state of the automated driving to the second human-machine interface unit.

Information device for informing a driver and method for informing a driver

A method and a device for controlling a functional unit of a motor vehicle are provided. In the method, a function sequence is implemented in a functional program. The functional program is verified here by a safety program, which is in turn monitored by a monitoring module. Like the safety program, the functional program has a modular structure. The monitoring of the safety program is accordingly implemented in multiple stages corresponding to the number of modules.

Method and device for controlling the functional unit of a motor vehicle

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling a drive unit wherein at least one measurement signal quantity (U,) is detected. This measurement signal quantity (U,) has at least one end value and the control of the drive unit is undertaken in dependence thereon. Furthermore, a calibration value for this measurement quantity is pregiven and the measurement quantity is converted into a relative measurement quantity (wped) in dependence upon the calibration value. Several measurement signal quantity ranges are pregiven and that range is determined to which the end value of the measurement signal quantity is assigned. The calibration then takes place on the basis of a base value assigned to this region.
