The backend entity communicates with the vehicle via a mobile communication system. The method further comprises determining an estimated driving route of the vehicle, determining information related to an area with insufficient coverage of the mobile communication system along the estimated route of the vehicle, and transferring the execution of the function from the backend entity to the vehicle based on the information related to the area with insufficient coverage of the mobile communication system along the estimated route of the vehicle.
