A sensor-fusion approach of using Brain Machine Interface (BMI) to gain a higher resolution perspective of chassis input control is described according to the present disclosure. Traditional chassis control inputs, such as steering wheel, brake and driver state monitoring sensors can calculate input but often cannot well predict intent. By interpreting well known motor command signals, it can become clear how much chassis input the driver was intending to provide. The BMI may monitor motor cortex to identity when a muscular movement is imminent, such as the movement of the arms to grasp the steering wheel. This combination would enable faster and more precise intent calculation. Additionally, information from driver wearable devices may be used to supplement the determination. This allows for a faster response and well as better integration with the driver.
