Typos:
- at 3:00. A car going at 60 km/h would be 1 km away after 1 minute, not 1 hour.
- around 9:00, the Kalman gain Kx is not only between -1 and 1, it is actually nonnegative because it corresponds to an observed variable x. (Kxdot can still be negative of course if x and xdot are negatively correlated.)
