An automotive vehicle includes a vehicle steering system, an actuator configured to control the steering system, a first controller, and a second controller. The first controller is in communication with the actuator. The first controller is programmed with a primary automated driving system control algorithm and is configured to communicate an actuator control signal based on the primary automated driving system control algorithm. The second controller is in communication with the actuator and with the first controller. The second controller is configured to, in response to a first predicted vehicle path based on the actuator control signal deviating from a current lane, control the actuator to maintain a current actuator setting. The second controller is also configured to, in response to the first predicted vehicle path being within the current lane, control the actuator according to the actuator control signal.
