  • Publication number: 20180201270
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a plurality of wheels. A vehicle steering controller controls a heading of the vehicle by controlling at least one of the plurality of wheels. A heading sensor detects the heading of the vehicle. A processor is coupled to the vehicle steering controller and the heading sensor, and the processor is programmed to receive a lane change signal that requests a lane change. Then, the processor determines the heading of the vehicle from the heading sensor. Based on this determination, the processor instructs the vehicle steering controller to reduce the heading of the vehicle to prior to executing the requested lane change. As a result, the lane change may be executed from a similar state each time.
