What does pure pursuit mean?
A path-following method that steers towards a point a fixed look-ahead distance further along the path, rather than towards the nearest point, so the robot starts turning before it reaches a corner.
In a lesson
Pure pursuit fixes it with one idea: do not aim at the nearest point, aim at a point a fixed distance further along.
