2D vs 3D ego-state estimation, and IMU-yaw drift over a 1 km loop

hardsubjective

Asked in interviews

For an ego vehicle, when is a 2D state estimate (x, y, heading) acceptable versus needing a full 3D estimate? Roughly how much error would you expect if you rely on a 2D estimate driven by IMU yaw rate over a 1 km loop, and where does that error come from?
