Abstract: A method for assessing a software for a control unit of a vehicle. The control unit includes a memory storing first and second versions of the software, and a processor. The method includes: receiving, in the control unit, sensor data generated by a sensor system for sensing an area surrounding the vehicle; inputting the sensor data into the first and second versions; generating first object data from the sensor data by the first version, the first object data including positions and/or orientations of first objects; generating second object data from the sensor data by the second version, the second object data including positions and/or orientations of second objects; assessing the second version in terms of a detection quality by comparing the first object data to the second object data, whereby an assessment result is produced; and transmitting the assessment result from the control unit to a central data-processing device.

Abstract: A method for evaluating a first method for a control of an at least semi-automated mobile platform in surroundings of the mobile platform. The method includes: determining a control action using the first method for a setting of the surroundings; determining a confidence value for the determination of the control action using the first method; determining a representation of the setting of the surroundings of the mobile platform, if the determined confidence value is lower than a trust level, in order to evaluate the first method using this setting.
