A vehicle has a steering mechanism coupled to a wheel of the vehicle. The steering mechanism is adjustable to alter a vehicle trajectory. The vehicle also comprises a collision imminent steering (CIS) control system. The collision imminent steering control system includes a controller in electrical communication with the steering mechanism and is configured to adjust a steering sequence of the steering mechanism to alter the vehicle trajectory when an obstacle is detected at a distance from the vehicle less than a calculated safe braking distance. The controller simultaneously calculates a predicted optimal vehicle path around the obstacle and a steering sequence determined to follow the predicted optimal vehicle path around the obstacle using feedback received by the controller.
