Methods and apparatus are provided for performing an assisted driving trailer reversing operation including a user interface configured to generate an initiation signal in response to a user input, a processor configured to generate a control signal in response to the initiation signal indicative of an inverse steering ratio, a steering angle sensor to detect a steering direction and a steering angle from a center steering position, a steering controller configured to receive the steering angle and the steering direction from the steering angle sensor, to invert the steering angle to generate an inverted steering angle such that the inverted steering angle has a same angular magnitude as the steering angle and an opposite direction than the steering direction, and a vehicle control system for controlling a movement of a vehicle in response to the inverted steering angle.
A steering control system comprising:
A method for controlling a steering of a vehicle comprising:
The method for controlling the steering of the vehicle of 10 wherein the vehicle is controlled in response to the inverted steering angle in response to the vehicle being used in a trailering operation.
The method for controlling the steering of the vehicle of 10 wherein the user interface is generated by a software application on a mobile device and where the user input is transmitted via a wireless network to the vehicle control system.
The method for controlling the steering of the vehicle of 10 wherein the user interface is generated by a software application on a vehicle infotainment system and where the user input is transmitted via a controller area network bus to the vehicle control system.
The method for controlling the steering of the vehicle of 10 wherein the user interface is a physical button mounted within a vehicle cabin and wherein the user input is a voltage changed detected by the vehicle control system.
A driver assistance system comprising;
