The forked tier4/autoware_launch repository likely contains specific adjustments tailored for TIER IV products. If you have any opinions, such as that this parameter should not be reflected upstream, please let me know.

Is it possible for us to get a reason for why each parameters are being changed?

For example, the max velocity was limited to 15 km/h for this reason:

• feat: set the max velocity to 15km/h #763

It was done for safety reasons while transitioning from obstacle_stop_planner to obstacle_cruise_planner. And the AEB doesn't work reliably for velocities higher than 15km/h.

This goes for all the changes, the PR description and title should contain the reasons these were changed. Not just "merging from tier4 fork for version control".

@youtalk -san, since

• chore(package.xml): bump version to 0.38.0 (#1226) #1229 is merged, can we close this PR?

[youtalk]

@xmfcx I want to minimize the differences with the tier4 forked repository, but since there might be some discussion, I’ll close this for now and reconsider.
