Input data are produced depending on the user input. Depending on the input data, at least one part of a program code of a computer program is generated, which computer program provides the user-specific functionality when the computer program is executed on a control unit of the vehicle. The computer program is provided for execution on a control unit of the vehicle in order to provide the user-specific functionality. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for producing a user-specific functionality of a vehicle, the method comprising: detecting a user input which characterizes the user-specific functionality, and producing input data depending on the user input; depending on the input data, generating at least one part of a program code of a computer program, which computer program provides the user-specific functionality when the computer program is executed on a control unit of the vehicle; and providing the computer program for execution on the control unit of the vehicle in order to provide the user-specific functionality. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the program code is produced using a generative pretrained transformer. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method according to claim 2, wherein taking account of at least one driving situation, a state of a vehicle occupant, and/or a state of the vehicle, and using the generative pretrained transformer, producing an output in order to assist the user in producing the user input. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method according to claim 2, wherein depending on the input data and using the generative pretrained transformer, determining whether and which data, databases, libraries, interfaces, and/or drivers are required for providing the user-specific functionality, and producing the program code taking account of the result of the determining. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the program code is produced such that the computer program's access to resources of the control unit is limited when the computer program is executed on the control unit. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein the program code is produced such that the computer program has access only to predefined resources of the control unit. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the program code is produced such that the computer program's access to predefined vehicle functionalities is limited when the computer program is executed on the control unit. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the control unit comprises an at least partly isolated runtime environment, and the program code is executed within the at least partly isolated runtime environment in order to provide the user-specific functionality. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, wherein the control unit comprising the at least partly isolated runtime environment is a hypervisor, a virtual machine or a trusted computing base. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the program code is produced such that: results of the execution of the user-specific functionality which correspond to specific first features are prohibited, and/or exclusively results of the execution of the user-specific functionality which correspond to specific second features are enabled when the computer program is executed on the control unit. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method according to claim 10, wherein the specific first features are first value ranges and/or first patterns, and/or the specific second features are second value ranges and/or second patterns. ### Claim 12 A device for producing a user-specific functionality of a vehicle, comprising: an input unit configured to detect a user input which characterizes the user-specific functionality, and to produce input data depending on the user input; and a program generating unit configured, depending on the input data, to generate at least one part of a program code of a computer program which provides the user-specific functionality when the computer program is executed on a control unit of the vehicle. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The device according to claim 12, wherein the input unit is configured to receive the user input in text form, in the form of a voice input, and/or in the form of a user interaction with a graphical user interface. ### Claim 14 A computer product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program code which, when executed, produces a user-specific functionality, by: detecting a user input which characterizes the user-specific functionality, and producing input data depending on the user input; depending on the input data, generating at least one part of a program code of a computer program, which computer program provides the user-specific functionality when the computer program is executed on a control unit of the vehicle; and providing the computer program for execution on the control unit of the vehicle in order to provide the user-specific functionality. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The computer product according to claim 14, wherein the program code comprises at least one part of a generative pretrained transformer.
