Abstract
Systems and methods for communicating data to a control system of a vehicle are described. A system may include a server, which generates a set of coefficients using an approximation function and based on path-preview data indexed to future values of a road attribute with respect to a road traveled by the vehicle. The system may also include a client, which utilizes an evaluation of the approximation function to direct the control system of the vehicle.
