Abstract
Systems and methods of autonomously controlling a vehicle across the grip driving and drift driving operating ranges are provided. The contemplated autonomous control can be effectuated using a closed-loop control system. In some embodiments, closed-loop control may be accomplished by deriving control laws involving sideslip angle, yaw rate, wheel speed, and other vehicle states. These control laws may be used to control the vehicle in a stable drift condition.
