Abstract: A vehicle system includes an avoid evasive steering (AES) module configured to automatically control the vehicle, and a control module. The control module is configured to detect whether a first threat is present in front of the vehicle, in response to detecting the first threat in front of the vehicle, determine a path of the vehicle for an AES maneuver to avoid the first threat, generate a threat region of interest lateral to the vehicle along the path of the vehicle for the AES maneuver, determine whether a second threat is present in the threat region of interest, and in response to determining that the second threat is present in the threat region of interest, prevent the AES module from initiating control of the vehicle according to the AES maneuver. Other example vehicle systems and methods for evasive steering control in vehicles are also disclosed.

Abstract: Vehicles and related systems and methods are provided for controlling a vehicle in an autonomous operating mode. One method involves determining a current value for a range of view associated with a sensing device onboard the vehicle, determining a target value for the range of view based at least in part on a speed of the vehicle, and in response to determining the current value is less than the target value, determining a dropback adjustment distance based at least in part on a difference between target value for the range of view and an estimated distance to a closest in path (CIP) vehicle ahead of the vehicle within a current lane of travel, determining a longitudinal trajectory for the vehicle based at least in part on the dropback adjustment distance, and autonomously operating one or more actuators onboard the vehicle in accordance with the longitudinal trajectory.
