The disclosure generally relates to a steer-by-wire steering system for vehicles and, more particularly to, methods and apparatus for the cooperative control of a steer-by-wire steering system. An example steer-by-wire (SBW) steering system for a vehicle includes machine readable instructions, and a control device to execute the machine readable instructions to determine a steering wheel angle of the steering wheel, cause a steering wheel actuator to apply a first feedback torque to the steering wheel based on the steering wheel angle and a target steering wheel angle, based on a user applied torque that is greater than the first feedback torque, cause the steering wheel actuator to apply a second feedback torque to the steering wheel based on the steering wheel angle, the target steering wheel angle, and the user applied torque, and cause the road wheel actuator to steer a vehicle based on the steering wheel angle.
A steer-by-wire (SBW) steering system for a vehicle comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions to cause programmable circuitry to at least:
A method for operating a steer-by-wire (SBW) steering system comprising:
