A number of variations may include a system and method may include autonomous driving systems including an algorithm analyzing motion controller performance in real time with respect to a set of attributes. The system and method may include an algorithm monitoring conditions such as monitoring actuations, vehicle dynamics, vehicle operating environment, and vehicle capability. The system and method may include an algorithm evaluating said conditions to determine which controller is best suited to the current situation during live vehicle operations.

A number of variations may include a vehicle, system and method of modulating power steering or torque from a lane keep assist system based on driver attentiveness to avoid accidental land changes.

Driver attention based steering effort modulation to prevent accidental lane changes

A number of variations may include a product including a body mounted air brake stabilizing and steering a vehicle having autonomous driving capabilities or functions, and a method of using the same, wherein the air brake is power actuated.

Disclosed is a number of variations that may include a method, system, or computer product useful in determining an intended yaw or yaw rate that a driver desires using a model, comparing the yaw or yaw rate with the actual vehicle yaw or yaw rate to determining a yaw error or yaw rate error, using the yaw error or yaw rate error in a model predictive control to determine the brake pressure required to minimize or reduced to zero the yaw error or the yaw rate error.

A number of variations may include a method or system using human driving characteristics in autonomous vehicle driving method or system.

Method or system using human driving characteristics in autonomous driving method or system

A system and method of hands-off signature detection may include applying a unique sinusoidal motor command to an EPS or handwheel actuator of a vehicle and monitoring attenuation of the unique sinusoidal motor command to determine if a user's hands are on or off of a handwheel of a vehicle. Attenuation of the unique sinusoidal motor command may occur due to the physical presence of a driver's hand(s) on the steering wheel.

Hands-off signature detection

A number of illustrative variations may include a method or product for sensing driver intervention in an autonomous steering system.
