Abstract
An apparatus for determining a speed of a vehicle, in which the vehicle includes one or more sensors to determine a distance to or a relative speed of an object in an environment of the vehicle, and in which the apparatus includes a data interface and a processing module. The data interface is configured to receive sensor data from the one or more sensors, where the sensor data indicates the distance to and/or the relative speed of the object. The processing module is configured to determine (i) a motion state of the object based on the received sensor data, and (ii) the speed of the vehicle based on the determined motion state and the received sensor data.
