Abstract
The brake system for motor vehicles has a brake pedal unit having a sensor, which has an intelligence of its own in the form of an electronic processing unit, which directly calculates actuating signals for brake actuators. Furthermore, the brake system has a central electronic control unit, which ascertains actuating signals for the actuators on the basis of an analog or digital signal of the mentioned sensor or of an additional sensor. The actuators have an intelligence of their own in the form of an electronic processing unit, which verifies whether the actuating signal coming from the central electronic control unit is valid. If this is the case, then the actuators are controlled by this signal, otherwise on the basis of the actuating signal calculated by the sensor.
