When reporting Autoware simulation discrepancies on GitHub, you could elaborate as follows:
During Autoware simulation, inconsistencies are observed between simulation results and actual tests/expected behaviors. For example, the planned path deviates significantly from real vehicle trajectories, or perception module outputs differ from physical sensor data in real-world scenarios. Potential causes include: mismatched parameters between simulation models and real vehicles, unrealistic environmental settings (e.g., lighting, road friction), or algorithm implementation variations across hardware platforms. Suggested troubleshooting steps:
Verify boundary conditions (e.g., initial speed, load distribution) align with real tests；
Validate sensor models (e.g., LiDAR noise parameters) against physical devices；
Ensure parameter definitions (e.g., PID gains) remain consistent across simulation stages
