Abstract
A system with a first computer unit and with a second computer unit, wherein the first computer unit comprises a first interface to enable connection to at least one sensor and to at least one actuator, wherein the second computer unit comprises a second interface to enable connection to at least one sensor and to at least one actuator, wherein the first and the second computer units can be connected to each other by means of a further interface, wherein the actuator comprises an interface, wherein depending on the first or on the second operating state the interface determines whether a control command for a driving function is adopted by the first or the second computer unit, so that in the first operating state only the first computer unit can activate the actuator and in a second operating state only the second computer unit can activate the actuator.
