    Abstract: A method for generating a steering command for controlling a vehicle is provided. The method includes: generating a first vehicle steering control torque command by a steering controller in the vehicle while the vehicle is driven in a semi-autonomous mode; generating an impedance-adjusted vehicle steering angle command based on a first vehicle steering angle command that was generated to compensate for a trajectory error, and a measured driver steering torque command generated in response to navigation of the vehicle using a steering wheel; generating an impedance-adjusted vehicle steering control torque command by the steering controller in the vehicle based on a difference between the impedance-adjusted vehicle steering angle command and a measured vehicle steering angle command; generating a steering command by a power steering system in the vehicle based on the measured driver steering torque command and the impedance-adjusted vehicle steering control torque command; and operating the vehicle in accordance with the steering command.

    Abstract: A system to enable an automobile vehicle automated driving control includes a quality index of an automated driving control system prior to enablement of an automated driving control function of an automobile vehicle. An adaptive forward propagation horizon and a prediction horizon for assessment of the quality index are computed. Vehicle states and road geometry are propagated over the adaptive forward propagation horizon, and the quality index is assessed based on forward propagated states over the prediction horizon. A first signal permits actuation of the automated driving control function of the automobile vehicle and a second signal precludes actuation of the automated driving control function. One of the first signal or the second signal is elected based on the results of assessing a quality control index trajectory over the adaptive forward propagation horizon.
