1. A method comprising:
activating a full lane centering control mode in an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) of a vehicle, wherein in the full lane centering control mode the ADAS keeps the vehicle centered on a trajectory of a lane regardless of surroundings of the vehicle and applies a first torque level against steering input that a driver applies using a steering wheel;
detecting, in the full lane centering control mode, a driver input corresponding to a departure from the trajectory; and
in response to the driver input, instead activating a manual lane biasing mode in which the ADAS applies a second torque level against the steering input, the second torque level lower than the first torque level, the manual lane biasing mode allowing the driver to steer away from the trajectory.
