Claim 9:
10. A method for driver command prediction comprising:
commanding, with a controller, 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 by the controller from a plurality of driver controls at a current time;
generating, with a plurality of sensors, 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;
storing, in a memory device, a plurality of vehicle states derived from the plurality of sensor data, wherein the memory device is connected to the plurality of sensors to receive the plurality of sensor data and connected to the controller to present the plurality of vehicle states;
generating, with a command prediction unit, the plurality of future driver commands at a plurality of update times in response to a driver model and the plurality of vehicle states, wherein the plurality of update times range from the current time to a future time, 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, the driver model is a neural network model or a recursive model that estimates behavior of a driver, and the command prediction unit is 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; and
updating, with the command prediction unit, the driver model while driving.
