Zusammenfassung:	A vehicle corner module (150 fig 1B) (VCM) is provided for regulating motion of a host vehicle which comprises a vehicle-onboard vehicle-controller 102. The VCM (150) comprises a sub-frame mountable to a reference frame of the host vehicle; a wheel-hub assembly; VCM-sub-systems mediating between the sub-frame and the wheel-hub assembly, e.g., a drive subsystem, a steering subsystem, a suspension subsystem and/or a braking subsystem. A VCM-onboard VCM-controller (50 fig 2A), comprises stored program instructions that, when executed by its processors, cause the establishment of a communication link with the vehicle-controller, including electronically transferring information about the VCM (150) from the VCM-controller (50) to the vehicle-controller 102, and to perform, in response to an installation of the VCM (150) on a vehicle, a post-installation validation-process that includes validating the VCM-subsystems and communicating a result to the vehicle-controller. Offline test apparatus for the VCM is also provided. The invention addresses integration, servicing and testing for use with modular axle-less arrangements.
