Abstract
This paper proposes an alternative formulation to the pure pursuit path tracking algorithm for autonomous driving. The current approach has tendencies to cut corners, and therefore results in poor path tracking accuracy. The proposed method considers not only the relative position of the pursued point, but also the orientation of the path at that point. A steering control law is designed in accordance with the kinematic equations of motion of the vehicle. The effectiveness of the algorithm is then tested by implementing it on an autonomous golf cart, driving in a pedestrian environment. The experimental result shows that the new algorithm reduces the root mean square (RMS) cross track error for the same given pre-programmed path by up to 46 percent, while having virtually no extra computational cost, and still maintaining the chatter free property of the original pure pursuit controller.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
