Potential config error - default lookahead of pure_pursuit is too big, causing lane invasion

[squizz617]

Hi, As shown in the video, the default lookahead value of pure_pursuit set in carla-autoware-agent/agent/launch/my_motion_planning.launch is too big, and causing vehicles to crash into fences or step over curbs while making sharp right turns.

After experimenting with various configurations, I found that setting the lookahead_ratio to 0.5 and minimum_lookahead_distance to 4.0 makes the vehicle make proper right turns in both slow and fast speeds. Any thoughts on changing the default configuration? Thanks!
