    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle and a system and method for operating the autonomous vehicle. The system includes a sensor and a processor. A disturbance force or yaw moment is received on the autonomous vehicle. The sensor measures a position of the autonomous vehicle within a lane of a road with respect to road boundaries and lane markings. The processor is configured to resist an effect of a disturbance force or yaw moment received on the autonomous vehicle. The processor minimizes a tracking error between a path of the autonomous vehicle and an initial track lane, wherein resisting the effect creates an inflection point in the path of the autonomous vehicle, establishes a final track lane at a closer of a lateral position of the inflection point and a lane center to the initial track lane, and tracks the path to the final track lane.

    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.
