    Abstract: A braking system for automatic driver-independent deceleration of a vehicle includes a hydraulic vehicle brake and a backup braking system. The hydraulic vehicle brake includes an adjustable brake pressure control device. A method for automatic driver-independent deceleration of a vehicle includes decelerating the vehicle by actuating a braking pressure control device and, in response to a set point valve set in a hydraulic vehicle brake exceeding a threshold value, actuating a backup braking system.

    Abstract: A vehicle steering system includes (i) a first control unit configured to perform the steering function of the vehicle, (ii) a status detection unit configured to detect the operational state of the first control unit, and (iii) at least one second control unit configured to participate in the control of the steering function of the vehicle in the event that an abnormal operational state of the first control unit is detected. A method and a computer program product for controlling vehicle steering is also disclosed. Not only can redundancy for the steering system be provided to high-level autonomous driving systems and/or assisted driving system, especially achieving redundant design for steer-by-wire systems and ensuring safety when the vehicle is in motion, but it can also effectively enhance the stability and comfort of vehicle steering.

    Abstract: A control device and method for executing a holding function using a hydraulic braking system of a vehicle including building up an initial holding pressure in at least one wheel brake cylinder using at least one brake pressure buildup device and closing at least one shutoff valve situated between the at least one wheel brake cylinder and the at least one brake pressure buildup device, a new holding pressure being built up in the wheel brake cylinder, in that an intermediate pressure less than the new holding pressure is built up between the shutoff valve and the brake pressure buildup device using the brake pressure buildup device, the shutoff valve is opened upon the presence of the intermediate pressure between the shutoff valve and the brake pressure buildup device, and brake fluid is transferred using the brake pressure buildup device through the open shutoff valve into the wheel brake cylinder.
