Abstract
A control system for a vehicle includes a forward viewing camera having a field of view forward of the vehicle. A control includes an image processor operable to process image data captured by the camera to determine lane boundaries of a lane of travel of the vehicle and to determine road curvature of a curved section of a road being traveled by the vehicle. The control, responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, determines an end of the curved section where the road straightens. The control, responsive to a determination that the vehicle is at the end of the curved section where the road straightens, determines a wheel angle to adjust a wheel of the vehicle to such that the vehicle travels parallel to a tangent of the road after the vehicle has traversed the curved section and is at a straight section of the road.
