Claim 16:
17. A vehicle comprising:
a plurality of driver controls configured to generate a plurality of actual driver commands; and
a driver command predictor connected to the plurality of driver controls, wherein the driver command predictor is configured to:
command, with a controller, an adjustment of one or more motion vectors of the vehicle relative to a roadway in response to the 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, and the controller is connected to the plurality of driver controls;
generate, 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;
store, 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 and connected to the controller; and
generate, 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 plurality of driver controls, connected to the memory device, and connected to the controller; and
updating, with a command prediction unit, the driver model while driving.
