Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus to control a torque threshold for hands on/off detection are disclosed. An example non-transitory machine readable storage medium includes instructions to cause programmable circuitry to at least identify a velocity of a steering rack or an angular velocity associated with a steering wheel, cause a first torque threshold associated with a first rotational direction of the steering wheel to be different from a second torque threshold associated with a second rotational direction of the steering wheel when the velocity or the angular velocity satisfies a threshold, identify a steering torque encountered by the steering wheel, and detect a hands off condition when the steering torque does not satisfy the first torque threshold nor the second torque threshold.
