Abstract
A drift assistance system that assists a driver of a vehicle in sustaining a drift maneuver includes one or more controllers that each include one or more processors that execute instructions to compare a rotation angle of a hand wheel with a minimum hand wheel angle entry value for a minimum amount of entry time and compare each of a plurality of drift criteria parameters with a corresponding entry value. In response to determining the rotation angle of the hand wheel is greater than the minimum hand wheel angle entry value for the minimum amount of entry time and each of the plurality of drift criteria parameters satisfy their corresponding entry value, the one or more controllers shift an executed position of the hand wheel closer to an ideal drift region associated with the hand wheel so that the drift maneuver is executed successfully.
