Method for controlling a path plan of a vehicle with tendering

A method for controlling a path plan of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• operating the vehicle in a normal mode along a current row of a path of the vehicle, the vehicle having a first pose that includes a heading angle or yaw angle;
• determining that the vehicle requires tendering or service based on output from one or more sensors, the one or more sensors including a fuel sensor indicating that a fuel level of the vehicle is below a lower threshold fuel level or a battery state of charge sensor indicating that a state of charge of a battery is below a lower threshold charge level;
• sending wirelessly an alert message to an end user to confirm that the end user seeks to select a destination tendering location, the end user supervising the vehicle contemporaneous with the sending wirelessly the alert message;
• sending wirelessly a defined list of candidate destination tendering locations for the end user to select and to activate a tendering mode;
• recording or storing first information in a data storage device in response to the end user activating the tendering mode, the first information including a saved first position and a corresponding saved first pose of the vehicle, a saved first implement state and saved first implement settings for resumption of the normal mode after tendering;
• and
• causing a steering actuator to change an angle of a wheel of the vehicle to direct the vehicle toward a selected destination tendering location in response to the end user activating the tendering mode.
