An autonomous steering system designed to work with the driver could make future vehicles safer and more comfortable. "That’s why we wanted to actively improve driver engagement through automation." The resulting system is designed to be collaborative, though it does not always operate that way. Likewise, if the system detects a threat — such as an impending collision — it can switch from collaborative operation to competitive operation. The team tested the steering system in both a simulator and on a real-world track.
