Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for a dynamic Ackermann geometry control system. The system receives, at a processor aboard a tractor of an articulated vehicle, vehicle information associated with ongoing movement of the articulated vehicle as well as a driver optimization preference. The system then executes an Ackerman control algorithm, with inputs such as the vehicle information and/or at least one feedback item. The outputs of the Ackerman control algorithm can include estimations of tire forces for each tire of the articulated vehicle and estimations of cornering characteristics of the articulated vehicle. The system then calculates, based on the estimations of tire forces and based on the estimations of cornering characteristics, a desired Ackerman geometry for the articulated vehicle. The system then transmits a command to modify a turning angle associated with at least one wheel of the articulated vehicle.
