Abstract
A vehicle autosteering system having a controller determines steering commands based on GNSS receiver position data, inertial measurement system data, and steering shaft rotation encoder data. The controller outputs a signal to drive an electric motor that rotates the vehicles steering shaft, changing the steering angle and guiding the vehicle along a predefined path e.g., a straight line.
