A number of variations may include a system, method, a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions thereon executable by an electronic processor to implement functionality comprising enhancing the curvature capability of a tertiary rack and pinion actuator by using brake-to-steer while the tertiary rack and pinion actuator is operating.

A method for vehicle steering control includes estimating a target steering metric using at least one vehicle signal associated with a vehicle, the target steering metric being associated with a requested steering maneuver. The method also includes estimating an instantaneous steer-by-brake metric using the at least one vehicle signal, and determining whether a steer-by-brake function of a steering system of the vehicle can achieve the target steering metric based on the target steering metric and the instantaneous steer-by-brake metric. The method also includes calculating a steer-by-brake capability status of the steer-by-brake function, and, in response to a determination that the steer-by-brake function can achieve the target steering metric generating a first steer-by-brake capability indication, and providing the first steer-by-brake capability indication.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus for assisting driving of a host vehicle, including a first sensor configured to detect a first steering angle of a steering wheel of the host vehicle and a controller connected to the first sensor, wherein the controller is configured to, in response to a determination of a failure of a steering system of the host vehicle, steer the host vehicle with a biased brake torque and compensate for a driving torque of the host vehicle, that is reduced due to the biased brake torque.

Disclosed examples include detecting a limited operating condition in an electronic steering system of a vehicle, the vehicle including front axle steering and rear axle steering; determining which of the front axle steering or the rear axle steering is associated with the limited operating condition; activating an auxiliary steering system based on at least one of drive units or deceleration devices corresponding to the one of the front axle steering or the rear axle steering associated with the limited operating condition to implement lateral control of the vehicle based on torque control via different wheel-specific torques of the at least one of the drive units or the deceleration devices; measuring a steering angle of a road wheel via a sensor of the auxiliary steering system; and providing the measured steering angle to a control device of the auxiliary steering system.

The present disclosure provides apparatus and method for blind-spot monitoring of vehicle based on rear camera. A blind spot view monitoring apparatus, for a vehicle based on a rear camera, may include an image acquisition unit, a control unit and a display unit. The image acquisition unit is configured to obtain a rear image from a rear camera mounted on a vehicle. The control unit is configured to set a region of interest in the rear image based on a turn signal or a lane departure signal of the vehicle, to determine whether there is a risk of proximity of an object in the region of interest to the vehicle, and to generate a blind spot image based on whether there is the risk of proximity. The display unit is configured to display the blind spot image.

A method for operating a driver assistance system of a commercial vehicle having two vehicle wheels pivotably arranged on a front axle is provided. An environment of the commercial vehicle is detected by a detection device of the driver assistance system. When there is an imminent collision with an object, which is formed separately from the commercial vehicle and located in the environment, is detected by the detection device during a stop approach, a parking maneuver, or a turning maneuvers of the commercial vehicle, one of the vehicle wheels is braked by a braking intervention effected by a braking device of the commercial vehicle so that the vehicle wheels are pivoted as a result of the braking intervention in order to prevent the collision of the commercial vehicle with the object.
