Abstract: A control method for automated control of a transverse deviation and/or a steering wheel angle of a motor vehicle by an overall control loop is described. The overall control loop has a first control module, a second control module, and at least one controlled system. The at least one controlled system comprises a front-axle actuator of the motor vehicle and/or a steering wheel of the motor vehicle. A provisional manipulated variable is determined by way of the first control module, wherein the provisional manipulated variable is independent of a speed of the motor vehicle. A final manipulated variable for the at least one controlled system is determined based on the provisional manipulated variable by way of the second control module, wherein the second control module compensates for a speed dependency of the at least one controlled system. A controller and a motor vehicle are also described.

Abstract: Detection and prevention of resource drain from unauthorized wireless device connections is provided. Responsive to receiving of a connection request from a connecting device, a pre-authentication message is sent to the connecting device, the pre-authentication message including a challenge value. A vehicle hash result is computed using a hash function taking the challenge value and the unique identifier of the vehicle as inputs. A device hash result is received from the connecting device. Responsive to a match of the vehicle hash result and the device hash result, additional hardware of the vehicle is activated to perform a secondary authentication of the connecting device. Responsive to a mismatch, authentication of the connecting device is rejected without activation of the additional hardware, thereby avoiding key-off load from the additional hardware in instances where pre-authentication of the connecting device fails.
