1. A control system for a vehicle, having:
- a driver input,a control actuator, anda control processor, wherein the control processor is arranged to process the driver input, derive actual driver demand, derive a demanded yaw rate, determine actual yaw rate, and control the vehicle via the control actuator to perform in accordance with the driver demand, the control processor receiving as a further input a performance factor for deriving driver demand, the performance factor being determined by one of detecting driver performance and driver control, the performance factor being a progressive value, and the control actuators being adaptable to the same said value to change the lateral responsiveness of the vehicle.

Abstract
A vehicle control system includes at least one driver input, a supervisor and at least one sub-system controlled by the supervisor. The supervisor assesses the driver input to establish actual driver demand and controls the sub-systems accordingly. As a result intuitive driver demand is identified and met.
