Claim 19:
20. A system comprising:
a primary control module configured to determine at least one control action for at least one of an electronic limited slip differential and an aerodynamic actuator of a vehicle based on a driver command;
a stability status module configured to determine whether at least one component of the vehicle is stable or unstable based on an input from a sensor on the vehicle, the at least one component including at least one of a vehicle body, a front axle, a rear axle, front wheels, and rear wheels; and
a supervisory control module configured to adjust the at least one control action when the at least one component is unstable,
wherein:
the at least one control action includes whether to activate the electronic limited slip differential to transfer torque from one of the rear wheels to the other one of the rear wheels; and
the supervisory control module is configured to one of activate and deactivate the electronic limited slip differential based on whether the vehicle body, the front and rear axles, and the front and rear wheels are stable,
the at least one control action further includes whether to activate a front wing to generate a downward force on the front wheels of the vehicle and whether to activate a rear wing to generate a downward force on the rear wheels of the vehicle; and
the supervisory control module is configured to one of activate and deactivate the front and rear wings based on whether the vehicle body, the front and rear axles, and the front and rear wheels are stable.
