DRIVE March 9, 2023

A steering control system adapted for use on a vehicle having two or more wheels each configured to rotate about a rotational axis, at least one of the wheels being a driven wheel and at least one of the wheels being a turning wheel, and an automatic pivot steer mode. The system further comprises a vehicle speed sensor, a steering sensor, a steering control device, a speed control device, and a controller in communication with the speed sensor, the steering sensor, and the speed control device. The controller receives inputs from the speed sensor and the steering sensor and, if both inputs fall within a predetermined range, activates a speed control device thereby altering the rotational speed or direction of at least one of the two or more wheels of the vehicle, reducing the turning radius of the vehicle.
