Abstract
An adaptive steering control system is provided for a motor vehicle. The system includes, but is not limited to a sensor for detecting a current value of an operation quantity of a steering wheel, an actor for turning steered wheels and a controller for selecting, according to the speed of the vehicle, a map (g, g) assigning to a detected current value of the operation quantity a setpoint value of the operation quantity for the actor, and for issuing a setpoint signal to the actor. The controller is adapted to decide whether the vehicle is in a state of motion requiring a high level of attention from the driver or not, to inhibit a switchover of the map (g, g) while the vehicle is in the high attention-requiring state, and to allow such a switchover while the vehicle is not in the high attention-requiring state.
