1. A method for assessing a software for a control unit of a vehicle, the control unit including memory in which a first version of the software and a second version of the software are stored, and a processor for running the first version and the second version, the method comprising the following steps:
receiving, in the control unit, sensor data generated by a sensor system for sensing an area surrounding the vehicle;
inputting the sensor data into the first version and the second version;
generating first object data from the sensor data by the first version, the first object data including positions and/or orientations of first objects, detected by the first version, in the area surrounding the vehicle;
generating second object data from the sensor data by the second version, the second object data including positions and/or orientations of second objects, detected by the second version, in the area surrounding the vehicle;
assessing the second version in terms of a detection quality by comparing the first object data to the second object data, to produce an assessment result; and
transmitting the assessment result from the control unit to a central data-processing device.
