Abstract
Autonomous driving systems and methods for a vehicle include a driver intent determination system configured to determine a driver intent for which of two different lanes the driver intends the vehicle to follow during a lane split scenario and a controller configured to operate the vehicle according to an autonomous driving feature whereby the controller automatically controls steering of the vehicle, determine which of the two different lanes are supported for the autonomous driving feature, determine which of the two different lanes that the vehicle will follow during the lane split scenario based at least on the determined driver intent and which of the two different lanes are supported for the autonomous driving feature to obtain a target lane, and automatically control at least the steering system of the vehicle to follow the target lane.
