1. A control system for an automotive vehicle having a brake system comprising:
- an object detection system generating an object detection signal and an object distance signal; and
a controller coupled to the object detection system, said controller programmed to generate a brake-steer signal proportional to object distance signal in response to the object detection signal and the object distance signal in response to the brake steer signal.

Abstract
A control system for an automotive vehicle that has a brake system includes an object detection system that generates an object detection signal and an object distance signal. A controller is coupled to the object detection system. The controller generates a brake control signal proportional to the object distance signal in response to the object detection signal and the object distance signal. The controller controls the brake system in response to the brake control signal.

27. A method of controlling an automotive vehicle having a brake system having a plurality of brakes comprising:
-
generating an object position signal and an object distance signal;
generating a brake control signal proportional to object distance signal in response to the object position signal and the object distance signal;
generating a supplemental brake signal in response to the object position signal for at least one of the plurality of brakes to generate brake-steer for the vehicle; and
controlling the brake system in response to the brake control signal and the supplemental brake signal. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30)
