Feature: Emergency braking against pedestrians and animals#

Ensures that ego is able to fully stop when faced with a situation of imminent collision with a pedestrian or animal. This is required to provide a safety measure for sudden unpredicted changes in the driving environment.

Scenario Outline: Stop safely when a pedestrian jumps into ego's lane#

Confirm that ego is able to stop safely when a pedestrian jumps into the road ahead of ego, up to a certain degree.

  • Given Ego is driving at on the lane closest to a road edge
  • And Pedestrian0 is on the neighboring edge of the road, ahead of ego
  • When Ego approaches Pedestrian0 longitudinally, to within
  • And later Pedestrian0 enters the ego lane within the time span of
  • Then Ego starts decelerating
  • And Ego reaches standstill
  • And Ego keeps its deceleration rate slower than at all times
  • And Ego drives safely with no collisions at all times

Examples:#

90 km/h 100 m 4 s -5.0 m/s^2
100 km/h 120 m 4 s -5.0 m/s^2
110 km/h 150 m 4 s -5.0 m/s^2

Scenario Outline: Stop safely when an animal jumps into ego's lane#
