It get very complicated from here. | |

| May 3, 2015 at 8:55 | comment | added | lawls | @HritikNarayan At any given point I know the car's velocity, mass, position, direction, position of the wheels and their direction/angle. So I guess I should be able to make a trajectory, I'm not sure what you have in mind though? | |
| May 3, 2015 at 8:52 | comment | added | Hritik Narayan | How is this information given? Would you be able to obtain an arc like trajectory of sorts, from the given information? That'd help you find the radius. | |
| May 3, 2015 at 8:50 | comment | added | lawls | @HritikNarayan Obviously, but that is the problem. Say the car is driving in a parking lot. All information I have is how much the wheels are turned. | |
| May 3, 2015 at 8:47 | comment | added | Hritik Narayan | The center should be the center of curvature of the turn! | |
| May 3, 2015 at 8:45 | comment | added | lawls | @HritikNarayan What is the center though? | |
| May 3, 2015 at 8:44 | comment | added | Hritik Narayan | Take the radius as the distance from the center to the center of mass of the car. | |
