1. A method for calculating at least one functional limit for a requested assist torque in a steering system, the method comprising:
receiving at least one input;
communicating the at least one input to an artificial neural network, wherein the artificial neural network is configured to calculate an assist torque limit corresponding to the requested assist torque;
receiving, from the artificial neural network, the assist torque limit corresponding to the requested assist torque; and
controlling at least one aspect of the steering system using the requested assist torque and the assist torque limit.
