If a bicycle model is moving at velocity V and heading angle θ, what is its velocity in the X and Y directions? This was the only technical question asked. While the math behind it is simple (V * cos(θ), V * sin(θ)), the interviewer showed no interest in hearing my thought process or discussing my actual experience with vehicle models, ROS, or planning systems. No questions were asked about my resume or relevant project experience.
