An automotive vehicle includes a vehicle steering system, an actuator configured to control the steering system, and first and second controllers. The first controller is in communication with the actuator, and is configured to communicate an actuator control signal based on a primary automated driving system control algorithm. The second controller is in communication with the actuator and with the first controller. The second controller is configured to, in response to a first predicted vehicle path based on the actuator control signal passing within a first threshold distance of a detected obstacle, control the actuator to maintain a current actuator setting. The second controller is also configured to in response to the first predicted vehicle path not passing within the first threshold distance of a detected obstacle, control the actuator according to the actuator control signal.
