Abstract
A method for automatically guiding a motor grader includes receiving a desired final grade for a worksite and generating a steering path for steering the motor grader across the worksite and moldboard control instructions for actuating a moldboard of the motor grader as the motor grader moves across the worksite based at least in part on the desired final grade, at least one steering performance metric of a steering system of the motor grader, and at least one moldboard performance metric of a moldboard system of the motor grader. Moreover, the method includes receiving an input indicative of a ground speed of the motor grader. Additionally, the method includes controlling the steering system according to the steering path and the moldboard system according to the moldboard control instructions when the ground speed is within a threshold speed range.
