Abstract
A steering system for a vehicle that includes a driver-controllable steering device; a power steering actuator coupled to a steerable vehicle wheel; an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) including a spatial monitoring system; and a steering controller. A steering control routine determines a target path and a target trajectory for the vehicle based upon an input from the spatial monitoring system; determines a driver steering command; determines external factors related to the target path and the target trajectory; determines a weighting factor for the driver steering command based upon the plurality of external factors; determines a steering angle command based upon the driver steering command, the weighting factor for the driver steering command, the target path, and the target trajectory; and controls the power steering actuator to control the steerable wheel responsive to the steering angle command.
