  • Patent number: 12097772
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for controlling the speed differential of wheels of a vehicle. The vehicle determines a wheel steering angle, where the wheel steering angle corresponds to a center of rotation of the vehicle. The vehicle determines a differential wheel speed associated with a first wheel of the vehicle and a second wheel of the vehicle based at least on the wheel steering angle. The vehicle independently applies torque to the first and second wheels based on the differential wheel speed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11993177
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to predictive vehicle battery temperature regulation. A device implementing the subject technology may include a processor configured to obtain different types of data associated with a route projection of a vehicle. The processor can determine a thermal demand projection of the vehicle that maps to the route projection based on the different types of data. The processor also can adjust a temperature of a battery of the vehicle to within a predefined temperature range based on the thermal demand projection for the route projection.
