1. A method comprising:

  • determining a desired trajectory of an auxiliary machine based at least in part on a desired work path or an alignment of a host machine and the auxiliary machine;

    deter lining a first actual trajectory of the auxiliary machine based on i) deter lining a first distance between a first side of the auxiliary machine and the host machine and ii) determining a second distance between a second side of the auxiliary machine and the host machine, the first side is opposite the second side;

    comparing the desired trajectory of the auxiliary machine to the first actual trajectory of the auxiliary machine; and

    when the first actual trajectory does not satisfy a threshold distance of the desired trajectory, selecting a trajectory-assist mode to steer the auxiliary machine toward the desired trajectory.
