Abstract

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling a motor vehicle having a plurality of component systems. A first one of the component systems is a motor control system. An interface position is defined between various ones of the component systems and faces toward the first component system. The interface position operates on the basis of the torque generated by the motor. The component systems exchange data via the interface position with respect to this torque for controlling the motor vehicle.
