Abstract: A vehicle motion control system for coordinating and synchronizing a wheel-individual brake system and a power-train torque vectoring actuator system in a vehicle. The wheel-individual brake system includes at least one first actuator for applying a braking torque to individual wheels of the vehicle. The power-train torque vectoring actuator system includes at least one second actuator for applying a torque to individual wheels of the vehicle through a propulsion system. The vehicle motion control system includes a central control function module including a plurality of yaw torque controllers. Each yaw torque controller is configured to receive data including driver inputs and vehicle motion states to determine a respective yaw torque based on the received data for controlling the yaw behavior of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and system by which a bounding box disposed around a segmented object in a camera (or other perception sensor) 2D image can be used to produce an estimate for both the location of the object—its position relative to the position of the camera that obtained the image (i.e., translation)—and the angle of rotation of the surface that the object is located on. The method and system may be used by an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), an autonomous driving (AD) system, or the like. The input includes a simple camera (or other perception sensor) 2D image, with the ego vehicle generating 2D or 3D bounding boxes for objects detected at the scene. The output includes, for each object, its estimated distance from the ego vehicle camera/perception sensor and the angle of rotation of the surface underneath the object relative to the surface underneath the ego vehicle.
