Method for controlling a path plan of a vehicle with tendering

Abstract

A controller is configured to determine that the vehicle requires tendering or service based upon one or more sensors. A wireless device is configured to send wirelessly, via a communications system, an alert message to an end user, who is supervising the vehicle, to confirm end user seeks to select a destination tendering location. Further, the alert message may be sent alone or together with a predefined list of candidate destination tendering locations for the end user to select and to activate the tendering mode. If the end user activates the tendering mode, the controller is configured to record or store in a data storage device a saved first position and corresponding saved first pose of the vehicle, a saved first implement state and saved first implement settings for any potential return to or resumption of the normal mode after tendering.
