Abstract: System and methods are provided for implementing friction circle safety controls in a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle. A system can apply a friction circle analysis during the vehicle's operation, in order to perform a safety-based evaluation of maneuvers that impact the dynamic relationship between a vehicle's tires and a road surface. The system also establishes a link between the vehicle's lateral controls (e.g., steering wheel) and the vehicle's longitudinal controls (e.g., brake and throttle pedals), such that a frictional force of the tires against the road's surface, does not does not exceed a traction limit (e.g., limit of a tire's grip on the road surface) for the particular vehicle. For example, friction circle safety controls can automatically provide feedback and/or automatic driving actions to adjust a relationship between the steering wheel and brake/throttle pedals of the vehicle to maintain operation of the vehicle within the friction circle.
