One of the important features of autonomous vehicles is their versatility to various traffic situations and road conditions. We explore the feasibility of using genetic programming to develop an adequate auto-steering of a car in slippery road conditions. We also investigate an important emergent property of the best-evolved steering solutions - the steering oscillations - and discuss how these oscillations contribute to the better controllability of the sliding car. We present the limitations and the technical challenges of the realworld implementation of steering oscillations.
