1/ When you say "Drive a block, take a right," you're giving curvature k as a function of arc length s. In 1990, curves for which k is a polynomial in s were termed "polynomial spirals." They've since been applied to self-driving cars. Great topic for #calculus 3! #MTBoSpic.twitter.com/XEaoZejNd0

5/ Mathematics: The more general polynomial spirals are investigated in this 1990 paper by Dillen: https://gdz.sub.uni-goettingen.de/id/PPN266833020_0203?tify= …{%22pages%22:[648],%22view%22:%22info%22}

6/ Application: Here are a couple papers that apply polynomial spirals to trajectory generation for autonomous vehicles. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.88.8908&rep=rep1&type=pdf … https://ri.cmu.edu/pub_files/2013/6/IV2013-Tianyu.pdf …
