Driving Context-guided Model Predictive Planning and Control for Autonomous Car Racing at the Limit and Beyond

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 11, 2026 · UTC

This paper presents a Model Predictive Control-based motion planning and control pipeline for autonomous car racing capable of adapting to different driving contexts, such as overtaking, nominal driving, and countersteering. A Cost Blending state machine manages the identification of different driving contexts and the selection of their predefined weights to be applied to the Model Predictive Planning (MPP) and Control (MPC) modules. The two optimization-based solutions share the same problem formulation and model, differing only in horizon length, rate, tuning, and in their open-loop versus c
