Abstract: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to adjusting a prediction model for control at handling limits associated with a projected trajectory during automated driving. In one embodiment, a method includes adjusting parameters of a prediction model using friction estimates and sideslip costs associated with a projected trajectory of a vehicle, the friction estimates being derived from Kalman filtering. The method also includes scaling, using the prediction model, handling limits of the vehicle for the projected trajectory according to a friction circle. The method also includes generating, by the prediction model, vehicle dynamics using a load transfer and a brake distribution, the vehicle dynamics being associated with estimated road conditions and the handling limits. The method also includes outputting, by the prediction model using the vehicle dynamics, a driving command to the vehicle for the projected trajectory.

Abstract: A camera unit that comprises an image sensor and a motion sensor performs an image capture operation in which still images are captured intermittently without triggering by a user. The brightness of illumination during the capture of images is determined. Exposure time is controlled in dependence on both the brightness of illumination and the detected motion.
