Autonomous lane control system
First Claim
1. An autonomous lane-changing system for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a sensor configured to determine a position of a plurality of surrounding vehicles within a predetermined area and to provide a position signal for each surrounding vehicle; and
a controller configured toreceive the position signals, to generate path data for the motor vehicle, and to provide a series of instructions for a steering system, andreturn control of braking, steering, and accelerator systems to a driver in response to receiving at least one of a brake application, a steering input, or an accelerator input.

Abstract
An autonomous control system for a vehicle that controls the speed and steering system of the vehicle to operate in a lane-keeping mode or a lane-changing mode. Position sensors sense the location of surrounding vehicles. A lane determining system identifies a current lane where the vehicle is located. A source of oncoming lane course data provides information as to the course of the current lane. A controller provides instructions to the steering system and speed control system to maneuver the vehicle in either the lane-keeping mode or the lane-changing mode. The driver may override the control system by providing a manual input to the steering system or the speed control system.
