ESC Testing Manoeuvre: Sudden obstacle

Real situation

Manoeuvre

Sudden obstacle: The light truck in front of the red vehicle lost a box. To avoid a crash, the driver has to steer abruptly.

Advantage of this manoeuvre:

- Very common real situation (broken truck tires, lost load, …)

- lower effort with pylons (time issue)

- in case of self driving, easier to do
