Steering assistance alterations in accordance with vehicle parameters

A vehicle system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• acquire a golf vehicle parameter including at least one of (a) a motion characteristic, (b) a distance or a relative location between a golf vehicle and a restricted operation area of a portion of a golf course, or (c) an input to a steering wheel;
• generate a countermeasure to change a steering assistance provided to the steering wheel based on the golf vehicle parameter;
• and
• implement the countermeasure, wherein implementing the countermeasure includes:
• adjusting the steering assistance when at least one of (a) the motion characteristic or (b) the input is greater than a threshold;
• adjusting the steering assistance of the steering wheel to prevent the golf vehicle from leaving a path of the golf course or to direct the golf vehicle towards the path;
• decreasing the steering assistance of the steering wheel in a first rotational direction when the input is greater than the threshold in the first rotational direction and the first rotational direction directs the golf vehicle towards the restricted operation area or away from the path;
• and
• decreasing the steering assistance of the steering wheel in a second rotational direction when the input is greater than the threshold in the second rotational direction and the second rotational direction directs the golf vehicle towards the restricted operation area or away from the path.

A vehicle system comprising:

• acquire a golf vehicle parameter including at least one of (a) a motion characteristic, (b) a distance or relative location between a golf vehicle and a portion of a golf course, or (c) an input to a steering wheel;
• acquire player information, the player information including at least one of (a) a history of warnings or rule violations of a player at the golf course or (b) recorded accident information of the player at the golf course;
• generate a countermeasure based on the player information and the golf vehicle parameter, the countermeasure including a change in steering assistance provided to the steering wheel;
• implement the countermeasure;
• and
• deactivate the steering assistance when the golf vehicle is powered off.
