Abstract

A method S100 can include: determining a set of inputs Silo; determining a vehicle state estimate S120; determining a vehicle command based on the vehicle state estimate S130; and optionally controlling the vehicle based on the vehicle command S140. However, the method S100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements. The method S100 functions to facilitate vehicle reversal and/or tractable vehicle control (e.g., during reversal). Additionally or alternatively, the method can function to reduce and/or eliminate unrecoverable vehicle state incidence during vehicle reversal (a.k.a., vehicle backing). Additionally or alternatively, the method can function to autonomously augment and/or assist vehicle control (e.g., during vehicle reversal).
