Abstract
In an example embodiment, a vehicle guidance system includes a memory including computer-readable instructions stored therein and a processor. The processor is configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to estimate a wheel angle of a vehicle based on at least a first value, the first value being a hand wheel based estimate of the wheel angle, and adjust steering commands for steering the vehicle based on the estimated wheel angle to permit the vehicle to move along a set path.
