Which device are you using?
comma four
Describe the bug
When taking a sharp turn under brake (such as taking a right turn onto a street or into a parking spot) while comma four is engaged in lateral control, I'll get a vibration that feels like the comma is trying to do contradictory inputs. It reminds me of a PWM vibration in a DC motor, like it's making micro adjustments to the steering as I turn. It doesn't impact control of the vehicle, but I dread it because it feels like I'm grinding gears. This does not occur with lat disengaged, and is not the collision warning system that vibrates the steering wheel, that is a different feeling that I've made a point of differentiating during my own troubleshooting.
I expect to feel continous resistance during turns, same as when I make steering inputs at other angles. Turning down the friction value from 0.9 to 0.8 in steering in Sunnylink seems to alleviate the worst of it, but I find the the car wanders in its lane more so that doesn't feel like the solution either. I'm running North Nevada 2 right now and there is a strong correlation between strong lane keeping and this vibration - so either I get sloppy lane keeping or I get grinding turns.
I'm not sure how to reproduce but here is a related issue that is still open and I believe is relevant to my case: #1112
In the route I've shared, the vibration occurs during the turn around 8:13:17.
Route is from an older version but I still see this happening on the latest. I can find newer routes but I couldn't easily find one where it happened so I'm providing one I used for a bug report on the sunnypilot community.
Provide a route where the issue occurs
