A method of controlling a vehicle includes determining location, speed, and direction of travel of the vehicle. At least one vehicle condition is sensed. A desired trajectory for the vehicle is determined in response to the sensed vehicle condition. A center point of an artificial stiffness applied to a steering wheel of the vehicle is varied so that the desired trajectory becomes the center point of the artificial stiffness. The artificial stiffness applied to the steering wheel is increased in response to an initiated steering maneuver. An apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes a steering system for turning steerable vehicle wheels of the vehicle in response to rotation of a steering wheel of the vehicle. A first sensor senses a location, speed, and direction of travel of the vehicle. A second sensor senses at least one vehicle condition. A controller that receives signals from the first and second sensors determines a desired trajectory for the vehicle in response to first and second signals received from the first and second sensors and varies a center point of an artificial stiffness applied to the steering wheel of the vehicle so that the desired trajectory becomes the center point of the artificial stiffness and increases the artificial stiffness applied to the steering wheel in response to an initiated steering maneuver.
