Claim 0:
1. A driver command predictor comprising:
a controller configured to command an adjustment of one or more motion vectors of a vehicle relative to a roadway in response to a plurality of actual driver commands and a plurality of future driver commands, wherein the plurality of actual driver commands are received at a current time from a plurality of driver controls, the plurality of future driver commands are received at a plurality of update times, and the plurality of update times range from the current time to a future time;
a plurality of sensors configured to generate a plurality of sensor data that determines a plurality of actual states of the vehicle in response to the one or more motion vectors as commanded;
a memory device connected to the plurality of sensors to receive the plurality of sensor data and connected to the controller to present a plurality of vehicle states, wherein the memory device is configured to store the plurality of vehicle states derived from the plurality of sensor data; and
a command prediction unit connected to the memory device to receive the plurality of vehicle states and connected to the controller to present a plurality of predicted driver commands, wherein the command prediction unit is configured to generate the plurality of future driver commands at the plurality of update times in response to a driver model and the plurality of vehicle states; and update the driver model while driving, wherein the driver model operates on the plurality of actual driver commands and the plurality of actual states to predict the plurality of future driver commands at the plurality of update times, and the driver model is a neural network model or a recursive model that estimates behavior of a driver.
