07. PD Controller
PD Controller - Artificial Intelligence for Robotics
In the following quiz you'll implement the PD controller.

# -----------
# User Instructions
#
# Implement a PD controller by running 100 iterations
# of robot motion. The steering angle should be set
# by the parameter tau_p and tau_d so that:
#
# steering = -tau_p * CTE - tau_d * diff_CTE
# where differential crosstrack error (diff_CTE)
# is given by CTE(t) - CTE(t-1)
#
#
# Only modify code at the bottom! Look for the TODO
