Techniques and systems are described that enable evasive steering assist (ESA) with a pre-active phase. An ESA system predicts that a collision with an object is imminent and enters a pre-active phase. The pre-active phase causes a required drop in steering force to occur prior to determining that the collision is imminent. At a later time, the ESA system determines that the collision is imminent and enacts an active phase. The active phase causes a steering force effective to avoid the collision. By enacting the pre-active phase prior to the determination of the imminent collision, the ESA system may provide the additional steering force needed to avoid the collision without delay while simultaneously shielding a driver of vehicle from feeling the drop in steering force.
