"It makes sense that the predicted position is the previous position plus the movement. What about the variance? It is harder to form an intuition about this. However, recall that with the `predict()` function for the discrete Bayes filter we always lost information. We don't really know where the dog is moving, so the confidence should get smaller (variance gets larger). $\\mu_{f_x}^2$ is the amount of uncertainty added to the system due to the imperfect prediction about the movement, and so we would add that to the existing uncertainty. \n",
