Publication number: 20240109585Abstract: Systems and techniques for determining a sideslip vector for a vehicle that may have a direction that is different from that of a heading vector for the vehicle. The sideslip vector in a current vehicle state and sideslip vectors in predicted vehicles states may be used to determine paths for a vehicle through an environment and trajectories for controlling the vehicle through the environment. The sideslip vector may be based on a vehicle position that is the center point of the wheelbase of the vehicle and may include lateral velocity, facilitating the control of four-wheel steered vehicle while maintaining the ability to control two-wheel steered vehicles.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Joseph Funke, Liam Gallagher, Marin Kobilarov, Vincent Andreas Laurense, Mark Jonathon McClelland, Sriram Narayanan, Kazuhide Okamoto, Jack Riley, Jeremy Schwartz, Jacob Patrick Thalman, Olivier Amaury Toupet, David Evan Zlotnik
