Claim Text:
1. A computer implemented method for carrying out a reliable plausibility check of sensors of a motor vehicle, the method comprising: monitoring, by each of the first driver input sensor and the second driver input sensor, interventions of a driver in one of a brake pedal, an accelerator pedal, a steering wheel, or a selector lever of the motor vehicle, the second driver input sensor being different than the first driver input sensor; detecting, by a computer processor, a measuring signal of each of the first driver input sensor and the second driver input sensor; redundantly evaluating for plausibility, by the computer processor, both the measuring signal of the first driver input sensor and the measuring signal of the second driver input sensor in each of a first functional module and a second functional module, the second functional module being independent of the first functional module; and comparing, by the computer processor, a plausibility evaluation of the first functional module to a plausibility evaluation of the second functional module; and responsive to the comparison of the plausibility evaluation of the first functional module and the plausibility evaluation of the second functional module indicating a lack of plausibility, adjusting one of the detected measuring signals.
