1. Method for operating a vehicle in response to an operator request for a lane change maneuver, the vehicle including a vehicle monitoring system for estimating vehicle motion states, a spatial monitoring system, an adaptive cruise control system for vehicle speed and acceleration control, a steering controller for vehicle lateral motion control, and an autonomic control system, the method comprising:

  • generating a preferred travel path responsive to the operator request for a lane change maneuver;

    using the autonomic control system to command vehicle operation to achieve the preferred travel path;

    determining vehicle motion states;

    predicting a travel path associated with the vehicle motion states;

    adjusting the commanded vehicle operation to achieve the preferred travel path based upon the predicted travel path;

    estimating a roadway using the spatial monitoring system; and

    adapting the preferred travel path responsive to the estimated roadway.
