Adapting Generalist Vehicle Models for High-Speed MPC Across Terrains

OptCar adapts generalist vehicle dynamics models for high-speed off-road autonomy by introducing a history-conditioned adaptation module and a targeted fine-tuning recipe. It compresses recent state-action history into a context vector to improve tracking accuracy across changing terrains, achieving significant error reductions in closed-loop control.
