    Abstract: In a control system for a vehicle equipped with an electronically actuable drive train, an operator control device generates a movement vector (from a driver request, and a control device generates control signals for actuating the drive train. A path computer calculates a movement path based on actual position/orientation values, and based on setpoint orientation and position values input via a destination-inputting device. The movement path includes a sequence of movement vectors which move the vehicle from its current actual orientation/position into the setpoint orientation and position when the drive train processes the movement vectors of the movement path. For this purpose, the path computer is coupled to the control device, in addition to the operator control device, via a common drive train interface in order to transmit the movement vectors.
