A safety method, performed by a control device for a vehicle assembled from a set of modules, the vehicle including at least two modules, including at least one drive module and at least one functional module. The control device is in any of the at least two modules. The at least one drive module has a pair of wheels and is configured to be autonomously operated. The method includes detecting (s101) an emergency situation in any of the at least two modules of the assembled vehicle, transmitting (s102) information about the detected emergency situation to a control center and controlling (s103) the module associated with the emergency situation to physically disconnect from the assembled vehicle. Also to a computer program, a computer-readable medium, a control device and a vehicle are included.
