Abstract
A vehicle has at least one movement system which can influence the movement of the vehicle and which can operate in a normal mode or in at least one emergency mode. An availability coordinator is coupled to each movement system. A control system controls an autonomous driving process. The availability coordinator is coupled to the control system and is designed such that said coordinator monitors the availability of each movement system. The availability coordinator specifies whether each movement system is to operate in the normal mode or in one of the emergency modes dependent on at least one of the availabilities; and activates or deactivates the control system dependent on at least one of the availabilities.
