A current state of a vehicle e.g. internal or environmental condition, is identified. Vehicle path curvature limits or boundaries are determined, which indicates the maximum curvature capability 99, for a left or right turn. A curvature performance profile to follow is determined based at least in part the vehicle path curvature limits. A direction of the vehicle e.g. steering is controlled based at least in part the curvature performance profile. An internal vehicle state may be found from a steering wheel angle, vehicle speed, CAN bus status etc. Environmental conditions may include road grade, road bank, surface friction or temperature. The vehicle state may also include lateral acceleration, wheel angle, yaw rate or path radius. Curvature limits may also be found from steering or other vehicle dynamic models. The curvature limits may also be regenerated by interpolating at least one discrete value of the curvature limits.
