(A nice side effect is that you can measure this error - "residual" - and use it as a signal that you might be less certain about the vehicle's motion and could be colliding with something, etc.).
This is definitely an interesting approach. I will update this post once we do some more testing and decide which method we're going to use. Thanks!
