Dynamically setting a limit that effects an actuator of a vehicle

Abstract

A system for setting a limit that effects an actuator of a vehicle can include a processor and a memory. The memory can store a communications module, a scenario identification module, a limits catalog retrieval module, and a limits setting module. The communications module can receive, from an external source and before starting a trajectory of the vehicle, a first limits catalog, that effects the actuator, cross-indexed by scenarios likely along the trajectory and risks associated with the scenarios. The first limits catalog can be produced from information from a plurality of vehicles. The scenario identification module can identify a current scenario. The limits catalog retrieval module can retrieve, based on the current scenario, a second limits catalog that effects the actuator. The limits setting module can set, based on the current scenario, the first limits catalog, and the second limits catalog, the limit.
