Abstract: A lateral control error of a steering system of an ADV is determined, which includes iteratively performing following operations for a predetermined time period. Whether the ADV is moving within a predetermined proximity of a current moving direction is determined. Next, whether a road condition of a road on which the ADV is driving satisfies a predetermined road condition is determined. Then, a first steering feedback of the ADV in response to a prior steering control command is measured. Thereafter, the lateral control error is determined based on at least a portion of the first steering feedback over the predetermined time period. Further, a steering command in view of the lateral control error of the steering system is generated. Finally, the steering command is applied to control the ADV to compensate the lateral control error of the steering system.

Abstract: In response to a request for a three-point turn, a forward turning path from a current location and heading direction of the ADV is generated. In generating the forward turning path, a forward curvature is determined based on the maximum forward turning angle of the ADV by applying a full steering command. The forward turning path is determined based on the forward curvature from the current location of the ADV. A forward speed profile is calculated for the forward turning path based on perception information that perceives a driving environment surrounding the vehicle at the point in time. In addition, a backward turning path is generated from an end point of the forward turning path based on a maximum backward turning angle associated with the ADV. The three-point turn path is then generated based on the forward turning path and the backward turning path to drive the vehicle to make the three-point turn.
