1. A system for dynamically determining an operating state of a motor vehicle for input to a controller employed to control dynamics of the motor vehicle, said system comprising:

  • operating state measuring means comprising means for producing a first signal corresponding to an operating state of said automotive vehicle;

    operating state predictor means comprising means for producing a second signal representing a prediction of said operating state;

    correction means comprising means for producing a third signal representing an erroneous component of said first signal; and

    compensator means for removing said third signal from said first signal to obtain a fourth signal which accurately represents said operating state and providing said fourth signal to said controller, wherein said correction means updates said third signal when said vehicle is operating in a predetermined state and does not update said third signal when said vehicle is not operating in said predetermined state.
