Abstract

A system includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory includes instructions that cause the processor to determine, based on images of an off-road trail captured by an aerial drone in communication with a vehicle, whether the off-road trail has a positive condition indicating that the vehicle can traverse the off-road trail or an abandonment condition indicating that the vehicle cannot traverse the off-road trail. Depending on the determination, the processor either controls the aerial drone to navigate along the off-road trail or controls the aerial drone to navigate to a different off-road trail.
