Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 19:
20. A vehicle, comprising:
an Electric Power Steering System (EPS);
a sensor system including at least one vehicle dynamics sensor configured to provide vehicle dynamics data and at least one temperature sensor configured to provide measured outside temperature;
at least one processor in operable communication with the EPS and the sensor system, the at least one processor configured to execute program instructions, wherein the program instructions are configured to cause the at least one processor to:
execute an automated lateral control algorithm based on the vehicle dynamics data to generate a steering command;
adapt the automated lateral control algorithm based on the measured outside temperature so that the steering command compensates for changing lateral response of the vehicle as a result of changing environmental temperature; and
provide the steering command to the EPS, wherein the EPS is configured to laterally control the vehicle based on the steering command.
