HANDLING A VEHICLE COMPRISING REDUNDANT COMPONENTS

A computer system has processing circuitry to handle a vehicle comprising and being controlled by a first set of components. The vehicle has a second set of components being initially set to an inactive state. The second set of components include redundant components of the first set of components. The processing circuitry is configured to, in response to a periodic event or a triggered event, activate at least one target component of the second set of components. The at least one target component comprises at least one target software component and/or at least one target control unit. Activating the at least one target component comprises at least one of utilizing, initializing, or monitoring the at least one target software component and/or the at least one target control unit.
