Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for dynamically matching an operator electronic control unit of a vehicle to a current functional state of vehicle functions of the vehicle. An electronic control unit is configured to ascertain a scope of functions of the vehicle, ascertain operating parameters of the vehicle that can influence an availability of at least one vehicle function that is part of the ascertained scope of functions of the vehicle, ascertain a current functional state of the operator electronic control unit from the ascertained scope of functions and the operating parameters, control the operator electronic control unit in such a way that the ascertained functional state can be output by the operator electronic control unit.
