A method for driving an electric motor includes providing two controllers for driving the electric motor. The two controllers use different control methods to drive the electric motor. The method further includes selecting a first controller of the controllers as a primary controller to drive the electric motor and a second controller of the controllers as a secondary controller, monitoring a control of the electric motor, and switching the control of the electric motor from the primary controller to the secondary controller if an error condition is detected in the control of the electric motor.
