Abstract
A system to provide trailer sway countermeasures during hands-free towing obtains sensor data of a vehicle related to a sway condition of a trailer. Based upon the sensor data, a driving scenario is predicted. The predicted driving scenario is then analyzed to determine whether, in the past, that driving scenario did not result in trailer sway. If the system determines the driving scenario has not resulted in sway, the system implements hands-free towing so long as the same driving scenario exists.
