Abstract
A vehicle control system is disclosed. The vehicle control system includes a by-wire system with an actuator for changing vehicle conditions and a by-wire control circuit that electrically controls the actuator according to a command for changing the vehicle conditions by a vehicle passenger. The vehicle control system further includes a monitoring control device having a control circuit that is different from the by-wire control circuit and that monitors the by-wire system on the basis of monitoring information received from the by-wire system. The vehicle control system also includes an inhibiting device that inhibits the control of the actuator by the by-wire control circuit on receiving a control command from the monitoring control device when the monitoring control device confirms a fault of the by-wire system.
