Claim 9:
10. A method of controlling a vehicle, the vehicle comprising an Electric Power Steering System (EPS), a sensor system including at least one vehicle dynamics sensor providing vehicle dynamics data and at least one temperature sensor providing measured outside temperature, wherein the method comprises:
executing, via at least one processor, an automated lateral control algorithm based on the vehicle dynamics data to generate a steering command;
adapting, via the at least one processor, 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
providing, via the at least one processor, the steering command to the EPS, wherein the EPS laterally controls the vehicle based on the steering command.
