Abstract
A control system for the autonomous control of a motor vehicle comprises an environmental sensor system, which is arranged and configured to acquire environmental data for the autonomous control of a motor vehicle. The control system further comprises at least one actuator controller, which is configured to control at least one actuator of the motor vehicle. A first control unit is configured to determine control commands for the at least one actuator controller with the environmental data and to transmit these to the actuator controller. The control system further comprises a control monitoring unit, which is configured to check a functionality of the first control unit with the environmental data and with the control commands transmitted to the actuator controller, wherein the control monitoring unit is further configured to determine emergency control commands for the at least one actuator controller with the environmental data, depending on the checking of the first control unit, and to transmit these emergency control commands to the actuator controller. In this case the at least one actuator controller is further configured to execute the emergency control commands of the control monitoring unit prioritised over the control commands of the first control unit.
