Demonstrate robustness beyond the evaluated simulator and sensor conditions

Demonstrate CORAL's robustness beyond the CARLA simulator and the evaluated sensor model, including under variations in weather, illumination, and driving conditions not represented in the reported experiments.

Background

The experiments use a static CARLA environment with no variation in weather or lighting and evaluate only the specified LiDAR-based sensor configuration. The paper therefore does not test the robustness motivations associated with LiDAR, nor does it establish transfer beyond the simulator and sensor model.

References

Transfer beyond this simulator and sensor model likewise remains to be shown.
