SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REACTIVELY REORIENTING A MOVING VEHICLE

Systems and methods described herein relate to reactively reorienting a moving vehicle. In one embodiment, a reactive moving-vehicle reorientation system detects automatically, at an over-actuated vehicle, a predetermined situation while the over-actuated vehicle is traveling on a roadway. The system also controls automatically the wheels of the over-actuated vehicle to rotate the cabin of the over-actuated vehicle sideways at an angle relative to the direction of travel of the over-actuated vehicle in response to detecting the predetermined situation. Multiple applications of this capability are described herein.
