In a control system for motor vehicles having a plurality of functional subsystems,
such as a passenger compartment controller, a telematics system, a drive controller
and a chassis controller, each functional subsystem has a plurality of control
devices, and a central databus. Control devices of different subsystems are combined,
in accordance with their spatial arrangement in the vehicle, to form local modules
and are connected to one another by means of a module bus. Each module bus is connected
to the central databus by means of a module interface.
