A vehicle system includes one or more sensors, a steering wheel including a rim having a diameter, the steering wheel including an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the diameter of at least a portion of the rim, and a controller configured to determine whether a deviation factor between a target path and an actual path based on the one or more sensors exceeds a threshold deviation, send to the adjusting mechanism an instruction for adjusting the rim of the steering wheel to a first state in response to determining that the deviation factor exceeds the threshold deviation, and send to the adjusting mechanism an instruction for adjusting the rim of the steering wheel to a second state in response to determining that the deviation factor does not exceed the threshold deviation.
