Abstract
A practical application of autonomous vehicle control couples vehicle trajectory and road curvature, taking advantage of their interdependency. As a result, if cameras or other lane-informing sensors go out in an autonomous vehicle, it still is possible to use GPS signals and the curvature to keep vehicles safely in their lanes while drivers can be alerted and can decide how to proceed (that is, by continuing autonomous vehicle control, or taking over operation of the vehicle manually).
