A method for monitoring a safety-relevant electrical component of a motor vehicle, in particular for a self-driving function. A safety-relevant component is provided for a motor vehicle. A cyclic diagnosis of the safety-relevant component is carried out. A metric for failure probability is determined for the safety-relevant component by using a piecewise- and thus time-dependently defined failure rate of the component.
