Abstract
Systems and methods for brake pad control based on surface roughness are provided. A system can determine a value of roughness associated with traversal of a surface by a vehicle. The system can generate, based on the value of roughness, an instruction to actuate a brake of a wheel of the vehicle to reduce an amount of separation between a rotor of the brake and a pad of the brake. The system can facilitate, based on the instruction, actuation of the brake of the wheel.
