A system for autonomously assisting the operation of a host vehicle traveling on a first lane of a roadway includes at least one camera assembly for detecting the presence and speed of a vehicle merging into the first lane. A proximity sensor monitors the distance between the host vehicle and the merging vehicle. A controller electrically is connected to the at least one camera assembly and the proximity sensor and, in response to receiving signals from the at least one camera assembly and the proximity sensor, actuates a steering gear to laterally move the host vehicle from the first lane to a second lane of the roadway to allow the merging vehicle to enter the first lane.
