  • Horizon-stabilized lateral control for a vehicle
    Patent number: 10723345
    Abstract: Lateral control of a vehicle, based on surroundings sensor signals of a surroundings sensor system of a host vehicle and/or maps, combined with an instantaneous position determination, wherein the course of the instantaneously traveled roadway and the position of the host vehicle on the roadway are determined, based on the surroundings sensor signals and/or the position determination, autonomous steering interventions are made in the host vehicle, which as a result, approximate or correspond to actuations of a steering wheel of the host vehicle, or provide a driver with information concerning steering interventions, a horizon position on the instantaneously traveled roadway to which the host vehicle is to be oriented is repeatedly determined, in that, starting from an instantaneous position of the host motor vehicle, an inner tangent point situated ahead of the host vehicle on the instantaneously traveled roadway is determined, and, starting from a point on the host motor vehicle, a tangent through this inner
