  • VISION-BASED FOLLOW THE LEADER LATERAL CONTROLLER
    Publication number: 20210129844
    Abstract: Techniques for operating an autonomous follower vehicle that is following a leader vehicle. A desired path to be traversed by the follower may be determined from a Leader Follower Relative Pose (LFRP) derived from sensor data. A pursuit pose is derived along the desired path from the present leader pose, such as either interpolating backward or forward. As a result, the pursuit distance no longer needs to be the same as the distance derived solely from the LFRP.
