Abstract
Techniques are described for determining to modify a coordinate system in response to the occurrence of a condition. As non-limiting examples, such conditions comprise distance traveled, speed of the vehicle (or system), an amount of computational resources available, a time since the last change, a number of objects present, the presence (or absence) of a particular object proximate the vehicle, a distance to a proximate object, based on a particular frequency, or the like. Such modifications may improve the operation and safety of a computing system used for path planning and trajectory generation by allowing lower precision numerical representations to be used in safety-critical situations while avoiding potential computational errors that would otherwise result from using such a representation.
