ABSTRACT:
A method of automatically steering a motor vehicle on a preprogrammed course by continuously measuring angles between reference points and using a microprocessor to calculate vehicle position and direction of motion. Points along a prescribed course are sequentially retrieved from a memory and the direction to these points are calculated and compared to the present direction of travel. Steering angle is then set to guide the vehicle toward these points.
