SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF VEHICLE OPERATION TO MITIGATE ALTERATION TO DEFORMABLE SURFACES

A vehicle that can mitigate alteration caused to deformable surfaces is provided. The vehicle can capture images of the road surface in real-time and determine whether any of its wheels is currently on a deformable surface. In the instance that at least one of the wheels of the vehicle is on a deformable surface, the vehicle determines the deformity level of the deformable surface based on the captured images and based on that data and determines an amount of torque biasing to be applied to one or more wheels that are not on the deformable surface. This reduces or prevents excessive spinning of the wheel that is on the deformable surface while providing more torque to the wheel(s) that have better traction. This helps to preserve the deformable surface and allow the vehicle to traverse the deformable surface and limiting alteration to the deformable surface.
