1. A control system for an automotive vehicle having a steering actuator comprising:

  • a plurality of sensors generating a plurality of signals corresponding to measured dynamic vehicle conditions; and

    a controller coupled to the plurality of sensors, said controller determines a road surface coefficient of friction, calculates a maximum permissible slip angle based on the road surface coefficient of friction, determines a calculated side slip angle in response to measured dynamic vehicle conditions, and reduces a steering wheel actuator angle when the calculated side slip angle is greater than the maximum slip angle.
