Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a vehicle dynamics monitor for an autonomous vehicle. In particular, the systems and methods of the present disclosure can determine, based on data received from one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle, that an anomaly exists in an interface between at least one tire of the autonomous vehicle and a road surface. Responsive to determining that the anomaly exists: a motion plan for the autonomous vehicle that takes into account the anomaly can be determined; and one or more controls of the autonomous vehicle can be interfaced with to implement the motion plan.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices and based on data received from one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle, that an anomaly exists in an interface between at least one tire of the autonomous vehicle and a road surface;
- and
- responsive to determining that the anomaly exists:
- determining, by the computing system, a motion plan for the autonomous vehicle that takes into account the anomaly;
- and
- interfacing, by the computing system, with one or more controls of the autonomous vehicle to implement the motion plan.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system of an autonomous vehicle and from a remotely located computing system, data indicating a geographic location at which a different autonomous vehicle determined that an anomaly existed in an interface between at least one tire of the different autonomous vehicle and a road surface associated with the geographic location;
- and
- responsive to determining, by the computing system of the autonomous vehicle, that the autonomous vehicle is proximate to the geographic location:
- determining, by the computing system of the autonomous vehicle, a motion plan for the autonomous vehicle that takes into account the anomaly;
- and
- interfacing, by the computing system of the autonomous vehicle, with one or more controls of the autonomous vehicle to implement the motion plan.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices and based on data received from one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle, that an anomaly exists in an interface between at least one tire of the autonomous vehicle and a road surface;
- and
- responsive to determining that the anomaly exists, communicating, by the computing system, to a remotely located computing system, and for use by a different autonomous vehicle in generating a motion plan that takes into account the anomaly, data indicating the anomaly and a geographic location of the autonomous vehicle associated with the anomaly.
