Abstract

A method for assessing a software for a control unit of a vehicle. The control unit includes a memory storing first and second versions of the software, and a processor. The method includes: receiving, in the control unit, sensor data generated by a sensor system for sensing an area surrounding the vehicle; inputting the sensor data into the first and second versions; generating first object data from the sensor data by the first version, the first object data including positions and/or orientations of first objects; generating second object data from the sensor data by the second version, the second object data including positions and/or orientations of second objects; assessing the second version in terms of a detection quality by comparing the first object data to the second object data, whereby an assessment result is produced; and transmitting the assessment result from the control unit to a central data-processing device.
