Abstract
A system includes a computer programmed to specify a feedback torque to a steering wheel in a vehicle. The feedback torque is based on a steering torque applied to a steering rack and a deviation of the steering torque below a minimum torque. The computer is further programmed to actuate feedback torque to the steering wheel.
Claims20
A system comprising a computer including a processor, and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the computer is programmed to:
- specify a feedback torque to a steering wheel in a vehicle based on a steering torque applied to a steering rack and a deviation of the steering torque applied to the steering rack below a minimum expected torque applied to the steering rack;
- and
- actuate feedback torque to the steering wheel.
