Abstract
A vehicle control method and system, including: receiving road friction information indicating road friction estimates for a plurality of regions surrounding the vehicle; detecting and determining a predicted trajectory for an object within the plurality of regions surrounding the vehicle; wherein the predicted trajectory for the object is determined based in part on the road friction estimates for the plurality of regions surrounding the vehicle; and modifying operation of the vehicle based on the predicted trajectory for the object. The predicted trajectory for the object is determined based in part on a risk map for the plurality of regions surrounding the vehicle that is generated from a road friction map for the plurality of regions surrounding the vehicle.
