A computer system for controlling the operation of a drive of a motor vehicle includes a plurality of different predetermined components each including at least one functional unit. Such components include a first component representing the motor vehicle as a whole and second component representing the drive. A plurality of interfaces is interposed between these components, being operative for transmitting data between such components. At least one storage stores information concerning such components and interfaces. The functional units mentioned above and the vehicle as a whole are controlled by controlling the above-mentioned components inclusive of the first component. In performing the control, request signals and inquiry signals are generated and transmitted through the interfaces between the components. The operation of the drive is controlled in dependence on the data exchanged between the components through the interfaces.
