Introduction ofafull redundant architecture into avehicle byintegration ofavirtual driver

Concepts likeDickmanns et.al.showthatau- tomation canbesophisticated enoughtodrivefully au- tonomously incertain environments. Theconcept described hereusesautomation tointroduce avirtual driver redundant to,butnotexcluding, thehumandriver.
