Abstract
A control unit for operating a motor vehicle includes a basic module and a function module, which is constructed in a secured run-time environment. The control unit includes predefined first and second interfaces, which each couple the basic module and the function module. The basic module is designed for determining one or more function input quantities, depending on at least one operating quantity, and for providing the function input quantities at the first interface. The basic module is further designed for determining control variables of the actuators, depending on one or more output quantities, which are provided at the second interface. The function module is designed for determining the one or more output quantities, depending on the function input quantities provided t the first interface and a predefined quantity of rules, which output quantities characterize an operating strategy from a quantity of predefined operating strategies, and for providing the output quantities at the second interface.
