A method of operation of an automotive vehicle control system of the kind which includes at least one downstream control subsystem having at least one actuator which modifies the longitudinal or lateral motion of the vehicle in response to received control signals from an upstream subsystem is provided. The method comprises: (a) transmitting in real time to the downstream control sub-system one or more control signals from the upstream, (b) determining that a fault has occurred upstream of the downstream control subsystem which causes the control signals to be erroneous, unreliable or unavailable to the downstream control system, and (c) thereafter using a response plan of action for the downstream subsystem that defines a sequence of operation of the at least one actuator of the down steam sub-system over a period of time and which has been previously stored in a local area of memory accessible to the downstream subsystem.
