Systems and methods of predicting a grade of a road upon which a vehicle is traveling are disclosed. An autonomous vehicle system can receive sensor data from a sensor measuring a response from at least one mechanical component of the autonomous vehicle as the autonomous vehicle navigates a road; detect a speed of the autonomous vehicle; determine a predicted grade of the road based on the sensor data and the speed; and navigate the autonomous vehicle based on the predicted grade of the road.
