Abstract

A processing unit includes a first communication interface that is designed for communication with a server device and/or a mobile device. The processing unit also has a second communication interface, which is designed for communication with the mobile device. The processing unit further has an internal communication interface of the processing unit, which is designed for communication with a vehicle bus network of the vehicle. The processing unit is designed to receive vehicle access data, which is representative of an access authorization of a driver to the vehicle via the second communication interface. The processing unit is also designed to determine depending on the vehicle access data a release signal for enabling a use of the vehicle and to provide it to the internal communication interface. The processing unit is also designed to receive vehicle analysis data via the internal communication interface.
