Surface detection via a directed autonomous vehicle

A number of illustrative variations may include the steps of providing a first vehicle including at least one sensor, a controller configured to process sensor data, and a vehicle communication system; providing a driving surface having an actual coefficient of friction; determining at least one est...

Summary:A number of illustrative variations may include the steps of providing a first vehicle including at least one sensor, a controller configured to process sensor data, and a vehicle communication system; providing a driving surface having an actual coefficient of friction; determining at least one estimated driving surface coefficient of friction; communicating the at least one estimated driving surface coefficient from the first vehicle to the vehicle communication system; and communicating the at least one estimated driving surface coefficient from the vehicle communication system to at least one other vehicle directly or indirectly.
