DBW: Increase steering LPF tau to 0.4 to reduce initial steer correction #144

Closed edufford closed 6 years ago

edufford commented 6 years ago

During recent site test, Carla starts with a large initial steering correction to get on the waypoints that causes the traffic light to go out of the camera image. Increasing the steering LPF tau to 0.4 can help slow down and reduce the initial steering correction to try to keep the light in the image while still allowing enough response to track the overall turns around the lot.

Testing on the track 1 shows this setting works fine at speeds of 10 m/s. On track 2 at ~2 m/s the car goes a bit wider coming around the sharp corners, than at tau = 0.2, but still seems fine.
