1. A computer comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
execute an algorithm to predict a numerical quantity of misalignment of an optical sensor, a future projected motion of a vehicle being an input to the algorithm, the vehicle including the optical sensor;
predict an error of the predicted numerical quantity of misalignment, the error representing an uncertainty of the predicted numerical quantity of misalignment; and
actuate at least one of a propulsion, a brake system, or a steering system of the vehicle using the predicted numerical quantity of misalignment and the predicted error.
