A driving assist system for permitting safe motorcycle lane splitting for use with either an automated driving assist system (which helps a person drive a vehicle) or with an autonomous driving system (which drives the vehicle for the person) having sensors for detecting a motorcycle approaching the vehicle from behind and a control system for determining which side of the motor vehicle the motorcycle will pass and then steering the motor vehicle towards the opposite side of the traffic lane (but without crossing into another lane or otherwise leaving the lane), to increase the safe passing distance between the motorcycle and the side of the motor vehicle. Mechanisms are also optionally provided to warn the driver that a motorcycle is approaching and that the motor vehicle will be maneuvering to avoid too close an approach to the motorcycle.
