Dynamic engagement envelope for activation of a driver initiated evasive steering maneuver

A system for completing an evasive steering maneuver for a vehicle around an object, the system comprising:

• one or more detection sensors of the vehicle that are configured for detecting the object;
• one or more input sensors that are configured for obtaining an input reflecting a driver's intent to initiate the evasive steering maneuver for the vehicle around the object;
• one or more additional sensors that are configured for obtaining additional sensor data pertaining to operation of the vehicle and further pertaining to a roadway on which the vehicle is travelling;
• and
• a processor that is coupled to the one or more detection sensors, the one or more input sensors, and the one or more additional sensors, the processor configured to at least facilitate:
• performing a plurality of assessors for the vehicle, each of the plurality of assessors pertaining to different conditions pertaining to the evasive steering maneuver, using the additional sensor data;
• and
• selectively completing the evasive steering maneuver, automatically in accordance with instructions provided by the processor, based on the plurality of assessors and the different conditions pertaining thereto.

A vehicle comprising:

• a steering system;
• a drive system;
• a braking system;
• one or more detection sensors that are configured for detecting an object in proximity to the vehicle;
• one or more input sensors that are configured for obtaining an input reflecting a driver's intent to initiate an evasive steering maneuver for the vehicle around the object;
• one or more additional sensors that are configured for obtaining additional sensor data pertaining to operation of the vehicle and further pertaining to a roadway on which the vehicle is travelling;
• and
• a processor that is coupled to the one or more detection sensors, the one or more input sensors, the one or more additional sensors, the steering system, the drive system, and the braking system, the processor configured to at least facilitate:
• performing a plurality of assessors for the vehicle, each of the plurality of assessors pertaining to different conditions pertaining to the evasive steering maneuver, using the additional sensor data;
• and
• selectively completing the evasive steering maneuver, automatically in accordance with instructions provided by the processor and that are executed by the steering system, the drive system, and the braking system, based on the plurality of assessors and the different conditions pertaining thereto.
