SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATICALLY UPDATING A MODEL OF VEHICLE TURNING DYNAMICS.
In some embodiments, techniques for updating a model that represents turning dynamics of a vehicle are provided. In some embodiments, an initial location and orientation of the vehicle with respect to an object outside the vehicle are determined using information from environment sensors including but not limited to image sensors and/or range sensors. In some embodiments, vehicle state information including but not limited to steering angle and wheel speed is received before determining a new location and orientation of the vehicle with respect to the object. In some embodiments, the model is updated using the initial location and orientation, the new location and orientation, and the vehicle state information.
