Abstract
A method for steering correction in a mobile machine having at least one ground-engaging device including one or more tracks or one or more wheels includes detecting a steering request with an electronic control unit, the steering request being generated by an input device configured to control steering of the mobile machine. The method also includes determining that the steering request is a request to propel the mobile machine in a straight path and determining, during travel of the machine, an amount of deviation of the mobile machine from the straight path. The method further includes generating an adjusted steering command based on the amount of deviation from the straight path.
