1. A braking system for a vehicle, comprising:
a brake controller is configured to control an actuating drive that controls a braking force;
a wireless communication unit configured to receive external data from an external device;
an online receiver configured to:
receive vehicle data from one or more devices within the vehicle via one or more first input channels and at least a portion of the external data via the wireless communication unit; and
identify a situation requiring braking as online information from the external data and vehicle data received by the online receiver;
a first offline receiver configured to:
receive at least a portion of the vehicle data from the one or more devices within the vehicle via one or more second input channels; and
identify the situation requiring braking as first offline information from the vehicle data received by the first offline receiver; and
at least one second offline receiver comprising one or more sensors that are placed such that they can at least record traffic in a direction of travel as traffic data, and wherein the at least one second offline receiver is configured to identify the situation requiring braking as second offline information from the traffic data received by the at least one second offline receiver; and
a comparator configured to:
compare the online information, the first offline information, and the second offline information;
generate a positive or negative result on a basis of the comparison; and
transmit the positive result to the brake controller in order to activate the brake controller in response to generating the positive result.
