I think I would not try to generalize motion commands at all, because of
the wide range of inputs even for vehicles of similar classes. Think for
example of all the different possible inputs for a quite narrow
specified class of planar ackerman vehicles. Specifying such classes +
deriving from them seems more work to me than directly define it in the
vehicle specific modules.
