Abstract
A vehicle includes a steering system, a vehicle speed detector, a brake system, and a control system. The control system is coupled with steering system for implementing a backup mode for reversing a trailer including controlling the steering system to maintain the trailer along a path. The control system is further coupled with the speed detector and the brake system and selectively outputs a rate-limited brake torque demand to the brake system to maintain a vehicle speed below a threshold speed.
