Abstract
A computer includes a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions. The processor is programmed to determine a deviation between a predicted value and one of a sensed steering angle and a sensed steering torque of a vehicle, output a service request in response to the deviation exceeding a first threshold, and perform a minimal risk condition in response to the deviation exceeding a second threshold.

A computer comprising a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor is programmed to:
- determine a deviation between a predicted value and one of a sensed steering angle and a sensed steering torque of a vehicle;
- output a service request in response to the deviation exceeding a first threshold;
- and
- perform a minimal risk condition in response to the deviation exceeding a second threshold.
A method comprising:
- determining a deviation between a predicted value and one of a sensed steering angle and a sensed steering torque of a vehicle;
- outputting a service request in response to the deviation exceeding a first threshold;
- and
- performing a minimal risk condition in response to the deviation exceeding a second threshold.
