Abstract

A system for controlling at least partially autonomous operation of a motor-vehicle, including: a sensor-device with which environment-data characterizing the environment of the motor vehicle is generated; an electronic-main-control-unit, which receives the environment-data from the sensor-device, and, depending on the data, inputs adjusting-commands into at least one device/actuator, which device/actuator is used in the at least partially autonomous operation of the motor-vehicle; a first electronic-backup-control-unit, which, for a fault/failure of the electronic-main-control-unit, receives the data from the sensor-device, and, depending on the data, inputs adjusting-commands into the at least one device/actuator, which device/actuator is used in the at least partially autonomous operation of the motor-vehicle; and a second electronic-backup-control-unit, which, for a fault/failure of the electronic-main-control-unit and the first electronic-backup-control-unit, receives the data from the sensor-device, and, depending on the data, inputs adjusting-commands into the at least one device/actuator, which device/actuator is used in the operation of the motor-vehicle.
