Abstract

In one embodiment, static-state curvature error compensation control logic for autonomous driving vehicles (ADV) receives planning and control data associated with the ADV, including a planned steering angle and a planned speed. A steering command is generated based on a current steering angle and the planned steering angle of the ADV. A throttle command is generated based on the planned speed in view of a current speed of the ADV. A curvature error is calculated based on a difference between the current steering angle and the planned steering angle. The steering command is issued to the ADV while withholding the throttle command, in response to determining that the curvature error is greater than a predetermined curvature threshold, such that the steering angle of the ADV is adjusted in view of the planned steering angle without acceleration.
