Abstract
A path-adapting system for precautionary path planning of a host vehicle. The path-adapting system determines conditions of a liquid and/or solid loose material in the air and/or on the road surface in vicinity of the host vehicle, determines movement attributes in relation to the host vehicle of at least a first object in host vehicle surroundings, determines based on the conditions and movement attributes, at least a first estimated upcoming host vehicle position occurring at an estimated upcoming at least first time instance at which the at least first detected object is estimated to direct the material onto the host vehicle and/or the host vehicle is estimated to direct the material onto the at least first detected object, and determines a driving path, altering for the at least first time instance the at least first estimated upcoming host vehicle position to a modified host vehicle position.
