Abstract

An innovative method is provided by which a complex electronic system for controlling a safety-critical technical process, for example driving an autonomous vehicle, can be implemented. A decision is made between simple and complex software, wherein the simple software is implemented on error-tolerant hardware and wherein a plurality of different versions of the complex software are simultaneously implemented in independent fault containment units (FCU) and wherein a result that is to be transmitted to the actuators is selected by a decider from the results of the complex software that is implemented using the simple software.
