[59]PIDDesigned the adaptive PID controller for the intelligent pioneer AVPID parameters, stiffness, yaw moment of inertia, look-ahead distanceSimulationMitigate the error to 0.5 m, performed better than conventional PIDIgnored external disturbances, that is, GPS signal attenuation, changing road conditions
