Automobile technology has gone from the mundane to the cutting edge over the past decade. New technologies such as electric cars and autonomous driving are making automotive engineering one of the most exciting areas for engineers.
In this chapter, we will give recipes covering a wide range of automotive topics, including dynamics and autonomous driving.
14.1 Automobile Dynamics
Problem
We need to model the car dynamics. We will limit this to a planar model in two dimensions. We are modeling the location of the car in ...
