1. A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions including:
- detecting a driver input representing a steering maneuver associated with non-autonomous operation of a host vehicle;
identifying a first target vehicle in an adjacent lane relative to the host vehicle;
determine a threat level associated with the first target vehicle based on a predicted path of the first target vehicle; and
allowing the steering maneuver when a second target vehicle is detected in an original lane relative to the host vehicle and preventing the steering maneuver when no second target vehicle is detected in the original lane of the host vehicle and the threat level exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract
A driver input representing a steering maneuver associated with non-autonomous operation of a host vehicle is detected. A first target vehicle in an adjacent lane relative to the host vehicle is identified. The steering maneuver is allowed when a second target vehicle is detected in an original lane relative to the host vehicle. The steering maneuver is prevented when no second target vehicle is detected in the original lane of the host vehicle.
