Abstract: A method and a system are provided for estimating a cornering limit of an automotive vehicle and a computer program product with a computer method code for carrying out the method. The method includes, but is not limited to sensing vehicle operating conditions and a vehicular yaw rate {dot over (?)}; detecting a lateral acceleration ay of the vehicle calculating vehicle parameters a yaw rate reference value {dot over (?)}ref, and a yaw rate error {dot over (?)}error on the basis of the yaw rate reference value {dot over (?)}ref and the vehicular yaw rate {dot over (?)}. If the lateral acceleration ay is determined as being unequal to zero, it is estimated whether the vehicle operating conditions, the vehicle parameters and the yaw rate error {dot over (?)}error are within a predetermined range of given thresholds.
