Systems and methods to detect obstruction include detecting, by a sensor, a first parameter that corresponds to a path of traversal of a tonneau cover, determining, based on a comparison between the first parameter and a second parameter, a presence of an obstacle in the path of traversal of the tonneau cover, and modifying operation of the vehicle in response to the presence of the obstacle in the path of traversal of the tonneau cover.

Tonneau cover operation

Systems and methods are provided herein for operating a vehicle in a vehicle yaw mode. In response to initiating vehicle yaw mode, the system engages an open-loop mode, that provides open-loop forward torque to the outer wheels of the vehicle and open-loop backward torque to the inner wheels of the vehicle until a sufficient number of wheels are slipping. In response to determining that a sufficient number of wheels are slipping, engaging a closed-loop mode. While operating in the closed-loop mode, one or both of the wheel rotation and vehicle yaw rate are monitored to adjust the torques provided to the wheels of the vehicle to control the vehicle yaw rate.
