Abstract: A lane-change system suitable for use on an automated vehicle includes a turn-signal-actuator, an object-detector, a location-device, and a controller. The turn-signal-actuator is operable to an operation-state by an operator of a host-vehicle. The operation-state includes a left-state, a right-state, and an off-state. The object-detector is used to detect the presence of an other-vehicle proximate to the host-vehicle. The location-device is used to determine a location of the host-vehicle on a digital-map. The controller is in communication with the turn-signal-actuator, the object-detector, and the location-device. The controller determines when the operator intends to pass the other-vehicle or slow down to make a turn or exit the highway based on the operation-state of the turn-signal-actuator and the digital-map.
