Thus is similar to corners in roads not working well when they're circular arcs. Going from straight to circular arc means your steering wheel needs to jump instantly from one fixed position to another. Using something like a linear change in curvature (i.e. a clothoid curve) is much smoother. This kind of thinking applies to other areas too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_spiral https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_spiral
- joshu 4y agofor exactly the same reasons the corners of apple products aren't just an arc. They change the tangent smoothly over time. Curiously Dubins paths do have instantaneous steering changes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubins_path https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubins_path
