A method and apparatus for aligning a vehicle to roadway lane markers includes measuring at least one of a first distance between the vehicle and lane markers for the roadway and a second distance between the vehicle and a recognizable object proximate to the roadway. The location of the vehicle is determined from a satellite navigation system receiver. This location is combined with the first and/or second distances to provide a localization of the vehicle on a high definition (“HD”) map of the roadway. A steering correction signal is generated in response to the comparison of the first distance to the localization of the vehicle on the HD map. The method further includes providing the steering correction signal to an electronic steering controller, wherein the electronic steering controller causes a vehicle steering mechanism to change the position of the vehicle in the roadway lane.
