A number of illustrative variations may include a system including brake-to-steer algorithms may achieve lateral control of a vehicle without longitudinal compensation but may also force a vehicle to slow down too rapidly before appropriate lateral movement can be achieved and may deliver an unnatural driving experience for vehicle occupants. A more natural feeling deceleration may be achieved by optimally selecting appropriate transmission shifts to allow for optimal engine speed or electric motor speed and torque based on current vehicle speed thereby reducing undesirably longitudinal disturbance.

Longitudinal control feedback compensation during brake-to-steer

A method of controlling a motor of a power steering system is provided. The method includes: estimating a scale factor based on a vehicle speed and a hand wheel torque; applying the scale factor to a return command; and generating a motor command signal based on the applying the scale factor.
