Collision avoidance method

[srajangoyal]

Hi,

I'm trying to evaluate my formal verification framework on your autonomous agent. I use the default evaluation script (adding new.ckpt in TEAM_CONFIG).

Based on my observation through multiple test runs, is it true that:

1. Ego speed is constrained to max 5 km/h?
2. Ego can not change lanes to avoid collisions? Lane changes only when specified in the ego route waypoints (in .xml input file)?
3. Ego brakes to a stop when another vehicle drives close ahead in its adjacent lane?

Looking forward to your response.

Cheers!

For 1, there is no direct constraint on the ego speed, but the maximum throttle is set to 0.75. For 2&3, as this is an end-to-end learning model, there are no explicit rules or constraints about its behavior but some of these behaviors you observed might be learned from the expert demonstrations.
