Abstract: A computer-implemented method for supplying an electronic horizon for an autonomous motor vehicle. As part of a first method step, map data of a digital map are processed. As part of a second method step, a position of the autonomous motor vehicle is ascertained and, based on the processed map data, a position-dependent forecast of map elements that are located in front of the autonomous motor vehicle is generated, as a result of which the electronic horizon is supplied. The second method step is performed within a predetermined execution time and regardless of a processing time required for processing the digital map data.

Abstract: A method for providing a reliable time signal. In the method, a first time signal from a first time source and a second time signal from a second time source are received and evaluated by an arrangement, the first time source and the second time source being independent of each other, the arrangement including a first unit in the arrangement which fulfills an observer and comparator function, the two time signals are compared with each other and a detected deviation between the two time signals is evaluated, and the reliable time signal is output on the basis of this evaluation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (300) for external monitoring of power electronics (450), wherein the power electronics (450) are actuated by means of first control electronics (460) and the method (300) is carried out by independent, second control electronics (420).

Abstract: In a method for actuating at least one actuator, two control units and a selection logic are provided, and each of the control units is designed to influence the actuator. Each of the control units performs a self-diagnosis, and each of the control units generates at least one activating signal as a function of the self-diagnosis. The activating signal indicates which of the control units is to be activated. The selection logic activates one of the two control units for influencing the actuator as a function of the activating signals.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for monitoring the voltage on electrical storage units, to a battery and to a motor vehicle having such a battery that are configured to be used particularly for improved establishment of overvoltages and/or undervoltages on modules of the electrical storage unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (40) for monitoring a torque of an electric motor (10), in particular for application in a motor vehicle, wherein the electric motor (10) is supplied with electric current (IS1, IS2, IS3) in multiple phases. A first torque value (M2) of the torque generated by the electric motor (10) is determined (58) on the basis of the electric output of the electric motor (10) and a detected rotational speed (n) of a rotor of the electric motor (10). A second torque value (M1) is determined on the basis of at least one measured phase current (IS1, IS2, IS3) and a rotational position of the rotor, and the two determined torque values (M1, M2) are compared (60) to one another for plausibility checking.
