Handling a vehicle comprising redundant components

A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to handle a vehicle comprising and being controlled by a first set of components, the vehicle further comprising a second set of components being initially set to an inactive state, which second set of components comprises redundant components of the first set of components and wherein the second set of components is arranged to be capable of performing corresponding operations of the first set of components, the processing circuitry being configured to:

• in response to a periodic event or a triggered event, activate at least one target component of the second set of components,
• wherein the at least one target component comprises at least one target software component and/or at least one target control unit, and
• wherein 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.
