Remote trailer maneuver-assist
A method includes detecting a continuous rotary input on a touchscreen of a portable device in communication with a vehicle, determining a steering angle and a steering direction based on a radius and a rotational direction of the continuous rotary input, and actuating a steering component of the vehicle based on the steering angle and the steering direction.
1. A method, comprising:
detecting a continuous rotary input on a touchscreen of a portable device in communication with a vehicle;
determining a steering angle and a steering direction based on a radius and a rotational direction of the continuous rotary input;
actuating a steering component of the vehicle based on the steering angle and the steering direction; and
actuating a propulsion component of the vehicle based on detecting a speed of the continuous rotary input above a threshold.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, upon detecting the vehicle is stopped, displaying at least one of a gear selector and a speed selector on the touchscreen.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising operating the vehicle at a vehicle speed based on the speed of the continuous rotary input.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising operating the vehicle at a vehicle speed below an upper speed limit.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising operating the vehicle at a vehicle speed below a lower speed limit based on detecting a trailer angle above a threshold.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising actuating a brake component of the vehicle based on detecting the speed of the continuous rotary input below the threshold.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the speed of the continuous rotary input is determined by one of an angular velocity and a tangential velocity.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising operating the vehicle along a straight path based on one of detecting the steering angle below a radius threshold, detecting a button pressed on the portable device, and detecting a continuous non-rotary input.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying an indicator on the touchscreen based on the steering angle and the steering direction of the continuous rotary input.
10. A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
detect a continuous rotary input on a touchscreen of a portable device in communication with a vehicle;
determine a steering angle and a steering direction based on a radius and a rotational direction of the continuous rotary input;
actuate a steering component of the vehicle based on the steering angle and the steering direction; and
actuate a propulsion component of the vehicle based on detecting a speed of the continuous rotary input above a threshold.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon detecting the vehicle is stopped, display at least one of a gear selector and a speed selector on the touchscreen.
12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to operate the vehicle at a vehicle speed based on the speed of the continuous rotary input.
13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to operate the vehicle at a vehicle speed below an upper speed limit.
14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to operate the vehicle at a vehicle speed below a lower speed limit based on detecting a trailer angle above a threshold.
15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to actuate a brake component of the vehicle based on detecting the speed of the continuous rotary input below the threshold.
16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the speed of the continuous rotary input is determined by one of an angular velocity and a tangential velocity.
17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to operate the vehicle along a straight path based on one of detecting the steering angle below a radius threshold, detecting a button pressed on the portable device, and detecting a continuous non-rotary input.
18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to display an indicator on the touchscreen based on the steering angle and the steering direction of the continuous rotary input.
19. A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
detect a continuous rotary input on a touchscreen of a portable device in communication with a vehicle;
determine a steering angle and a steering direction based on a radius and a rotational direction of the continuous rotary input;
actuate a steering component of the vehicle based on the steering angle and the steering direction; and
operate the vehicle along a straight path based on one of detecting the steering angle below a radius threshold, detecting a button pressed on the portable device, and detecting a continuous non-rotary input.
