Abstract

A vehicle includes a plurality of sub-systems and corresponding controllers for effecting normal control thereover. The vehicle further includes a vehicle dynamics controller for providing high-priority sub-system commands for sub-system control to effect vehicle dynamics enhancements. The vehicle dynamics controller includes a plurality of independently decomposable and recomposable software components or layers and accessible inter-layer bus structure.
