1. A braking system for a vehicle, the braking system comprising:
a brake pedal;
a position sensor to determine position data regarding an actuation distance and/or a pivot angle of the brake pedal of the vehicle;
a force sensor to determine force data regarding an operating force with which the brake pedal is operated;
a controller; and
an additional controller,
wherein the position sensor has a signal connection to the controller and to the additional controller to transmit the position data to the controller as well as to the additional controller,
wherein the force sensor has a signal connection to the controller and to the additional controller to transmit the force data to the controller as well as to the additional controller,
wherein the force sensor has a sensor channel pair and the position sensor has at least two sensor channel pairs that are arranged separately from one another,
wherein a first sensor channel pair of the at least two sensor channel pairs of the position sensor has a signal connection to the controller for transmitting the position data to the controller, and a second sensor channel pair of the at least two sensor channel pairs of the position sensor has a signal connection to the additional controller for transmitting the position data to the additional controller, and
wherein a first sensor channel of the sensor channel pair of the force sensor has a signal connection to the controller for transmitting the force data to the controller and a second sensor channel of the sensor channel pair of the force sensor has a signal connection to the additional controller for transmitting the force data to the additional controller.
