1. A data switching device for a vehicle, the data switching device comprising:
at least one interface, connectable with a first plurality of vehicle components of the vehicle and with a second plurality of vehicle components of the vehicle; and
a control circuit configured to communicate with the first plurality of vehicle components of the vehicle based on at least one first data format, and with the second plurality of vehicle components of the vehicle based on at least one second data format, which second data format differs from the first data format; wherein
the control circuit is configured to allow communication between the first plurality of vehicle components and the second plurality of vehicle components
by converting first data from the first plurality of vehicle components into second data for the second plurality of vehicle components; wherein
the first data is based on the at least one first data format;
the second data is based on the at least one second data format; and wherein
the control circuit is configured to remove redundant information by determining at least a part of the second data based on redundant information of the first data.
