Abstract: An input module, able to be retrofitted in a vehicle, for controlling a vehicle, having a haptic input element, at least one sensor, at least one electronic circuit that is able to determine a sensor signal, at least one force feedback element, and a housing having at least one electrical interface. The sensor, the electronic circuit and the force feedback element are accommodated completely in the housing and the input element is accommodated partially in the housing. The force feedback is calculated in the electronic circuit and is able to be adjusted dynamically and adapted to a specific the driver. The invention also relates to a modular control system having the input module cited above, a data bus and at least one central distributor module.

Abstract: A vehicle including a controller with a steering input module and a brake input module is disclosed. The steering input module (11) has a mechanical interface to which the exchangeable operating elements (12) for steering the vehicle can be attached. The brake input module (21) has a mechanical interface with touchless sensors (211a, b), to which the exchangeable operating elements (22) for braking can be attached. Per the steering input module (11) and/or brake input module (21), at least one main controller board (131a, b, 231a, b, 321, 332) is provided. For the steering input module, the main controller board sets the individual parameters with respect to the steering angle and straight-ahead position of the exchangeable operating elements (12) for steering the vehicle. For the brake input module, the main controller board sets the individual parameters with respect to the brake distance of the exchangeable operating elements (22) for braking.
