determining vehicle driving data using the output data;
receiving vehicle operating data from another vehicle; and
depending on the vehicle operating data of the other vehicle, switching the at least one redundant second application from an active state to a standby state,
wherein the active state is configured to process output data from the at least one redundant second application,
wherein the standby state comprises processing a computer instance of a computer unit by the at least one redundant second application,
and wherein the processing of the computer instance is executed at a lower frequency than in the active state.
