SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING A PREEMPTIVE SUSPENSION CONTROL FOR AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE TO IMPROVE RIDE QUALITY

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are provided for implementing a preemptive suspension control for an autonomous vehicle to improve ride quality. Data from one or more sensors onboard the autonomous vehicle can be acquired. A surface imperfection of a road can be identified from the data. A next action for the autonomous vehicle can be determined based on the road condition. A signal can be outputted that causes the autonomous vehicle to act in accordance with the next action after adjusting the suspension preemptively.
